This bill approves the transfer of a long-term rental subsidy contract for 14 affordable housing units at the Mozart Apartments (1630 Fuller Street, NW) from Jubilee Housing Limited Partnership to its affiliate Jubilee ADMO Apartments LP, extending the contract by 20 years until 2046. The contract subsidizes rents for extremely low-income residents (earning 0-30% of area median income), including the chronically homeless, elderly, and people with disabilities, as part of the District's Local Rent Supplement Program. The extension allows Jubilee ADMO to secure long-term financing for a moderate rehabilitation of the building while maintaining affordability for current residents. The transfer is permitted under District law without new competitive bidding because Jubilee ADMO is an affiliate of the current owner.
This bill would extend a 20-year housing subsidy contract for 35 affordable units at Euclid Apartments (1740 Euclid Street, NW) through 2046. It transfers the existing contract from Jubilee Housing Limited Partnership II to its affiliate Jubilee ADMO Apartments LP. The extension enables Jubilee ADMO to secure long-term financing for rehabilitation work on the building. This change ensures continued funding under D.C.'s Local Rent Supplement Program for extremely low-income residents living in these units.
This bill approves an extension and transfer of a long-term housing subsidy contract for 7 affordable units at the Fuller Apartments (1650 Fuller Street, NW). It assigns the existing contract from Jubilee Housing Limited Partnership to its affiliate, Jubilee ADMO Apartments LP, and extends the contract term by 20 years (through 2046). This allows Jubilee ADMO to secure long-term financing for moderate rehabilitation of the building while continuing to provide affordable housing for extremely low-income residents, including the chronically homeless, elderly, and people with disabilities, under the District's Local Rent Supplement Program. The change directly affects the 7 subsidized units at Fuller Apartments and ensures ongoing funding for these housing costs.
This resolution approves a 20-year contract (2025-LRSP-04A) between the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) and PBS Property Holdings, LLC to provide annual subsidies of $255,522 for eight affordable housing units at Kennedy Gardens Apartments (145 Kennedy Avenue, NW). The subsidy supports extremely low-income households (earning 30% or less of the area median income) by covering rental costs for these units under the District's Local Rent Supplement Program. The resolution authorizes the housing subsidy agreement but does not create new policy or alter existing law.
This bill creates several programs to address vacant and blighted properties in Washington, D.C. It requires the Department of Aging and Community Living to develop a "tangled title" information sheet for heirs inheriting property, which funeral homes must provide to survivors within five days of a death. The bill also establishes tax credits and abatements for renovating Class 3 and 4 properties (typically residential or commercial buildings), creates a single-family home rehabilitation program, and allows payment plans for delinquent real property taxes. These provisions directly affect property owners, heirs, and funeral service providers by streamlining property transfers, reducing blight, and incentivizing rehabilitation of underused buildings.
This bill temporarily amends District laws to clarify DC Water's billing and disconnection procedures for customers. It requires DC Water to provide multilingual services (adding it to the Language Access Act), caps late payment penalties at 10% after 30 days and 1% monthly after 60 days, and mandates monthly reports to the Council and tenant advocates on disconnection notices, actual disconnections, and service restorations. It also updates notice rules to require 30-day written warnings in English, Spanish, or other languages spoken by occupants before disconnection. The bill directly affects DC Water customers (residents and property owners) and requires DC Water to submit detailed monthly data on service disruptions.
This resolution designates the public alley system within square 1084 in Washington, D.C., as "Elmore-Friendship Court." It directly affects property owners with lots fronting this alley, enabling them to secure District agency approvals for redeveloping carriage houses into residential units before permanent legislation completes congressional review. The resolution declares an emergency to allow immediate adoption after a single reading, bypassing the usual 30-day congressional review period for the underlying designation bill (Bill 26-220). This is a procedural name change resolution, not a substantive policy.
The Housing Authority Resident Empowerment Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 temporarily changes how the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) is governed. It requires two seats on DCHA’s 9-member board to be filled by elected public housing residents (with first elections in 2025 and 2026), while the Mayor appoints seven members with specific housing expertise (e.g., federal housing law, affordable housing development), rotating these requirements every three years. The bill also sets a 9-year total service limit for board members and updates the public housing resident bill of rights. These changes directly affect DCHA residents (through voting representation) and DCHA’s governance structure.
This bill temporarily restructures the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) by replacing its Board of Commissioners with a new 9-member "Stabilization and Reform Board" for 2025. The board requires specific expertise (e.g., affordable housing finance, federal regulations, resident experience) and mandates actions to reform DCHA operations, directly affecting DCHA’s 50,000+ public housing residents and its management. Key mechanisms include defining the board’s composition, requiring resident and voucher holder representation, and specifying that the Mayor appoints members with Council approval. The bill is temporary, sunsetting after 2025, and focuses on governance changes to revitalize DCHA without altering existing housing laws.
This bill provides a 15-year tax abatement for the 1333 M Street, SE development project (River’s Edge) in Ward 6, starting in 2029. It reduces real property taxes on the site by covering amounts exceeding $150,000 annually, but only if the developer sets aside 12% of residential units for households earning ≤60% of median income and completes specific neighborhood improvements. These include a greenway on Water Street, reconstructed bike trails, pedestrian plazas, and 52 public bicycle spaces. The tax relief directly benefits the developer (FRF Land Owner LLC) and aims to support affordable housing and public infrastructure in the Anacostia River neighborhood.
