This resolution approves a 20-year, $707,035 annual subsidy contract under the District's Local Rent Supplement Program (LRSP) to support 22 affordable housing units at Harvard Court Apartments (1425 Harvard Court, NW). The subsidy will enable Harvard Court Owner, LLC to provide housing at reduced rents for extremely low-income households earning 30% or less of the area median income, including vulnerable populations like the chronically homeless, elderly residents, and individuals with disabilities. This contract directly affects the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA), which administers the LRSP, and Harvard Court Owner, LLC, as it authorizes long-term funding for these specific units.
This bill requires landlords to maintain rent payment plans agreed upon between March 2020 and July 2022 for tenants facing pandemic-related financial hardship. It directly affects residential and small commercial tenants (under 6,500 sq. ft.) who demonstrated hardship from the COVID-19 emergency. Key provisions include banning fees/interest for payment plans, prohibiting credit reporting of plan-related rent, and preventing evictions for nonpayment during the plan period. Landlords must approve applications without requiring lump-sum payments and allow online/phone applications, with denied applicants able to file complaints with the Rent Administrator or Department of Licensing.

Lenders and housing entities must send notices to these homeowners before starting foreclosure actions, informing them about DC HAF’s potential to cover their debts and the September 30, 2022, application deadline. The protections apply only to those with pre-September 30, 2022, applications still pending as of September 30, 2022.

This bill requires landlords and property owners (referred to as "providers") to maintain any rent payment plans agreed upon with eligible tenants between March 11, 2020, and July 25, 2022, due to pandemic-related financial hardship. It prohibits providers from charging fees, interest, or penalties for these plans, reporting rent as delinquent to credit bureaus, or evicting tenants who comply with the plan during the covered period. The law directly affects residential tenants and small commercial tenants (occupying less than 6,500 sq. ft.) who entered payment agreements during the pandemic, ensuring they retain lease rights and access to online/phone application processes. Landlords must approve applications demonstrating pandemic hardship and cannot deny plans based on pre-pandemic payment issues.
