This bill confirms Steve Clinton as a new member of the Board of Directors for the District of Columbia Housing Finance Agency. The resolution officially appoints him to fill a vacant seat for the remainder of the current term ending in June 2026 and grants him a subsequent term until June 2028. Clinton, who previously served as the agency's Chief Financial Officer, brings extensive experience in mortgage lending, finance, and housing policy. This confirmation allows him to participate in the agency's strategic planning and financial decision-making processes.
This bill confirms Edward Fisher as a new member of the District of Columbia Housing Finance Agency's Board of Directors. The resolution fills a vacant seat left by Bryan Scottie Irving and appoints Fisher for the remainder of an unexpired term ending in June 2027. Fisher, who has experience in real estate development and government relations, will serve on the agency that provides financing for housing projects in the District. The Council must vote to approve this appointment before it takes effect.
This bill confirms the reappointment of Ms. Carri Robinson to the Board of Directors of the District of Columbia Housing Finance Agency. The resolution formally approves her nomination by the Mayor for a term ending on June 28, 2028, recognizing her experience in finance and real estate development. Upon adoption, the Council will send a copy of the resolution to both Ms. Robinson and the Mayor's office, and the measure takes effect immediately.
This bill transfers administration of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program from the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) to the District of Columbia Housing Finance Agency (DCHFA). It directly affects how DC allocates federal tax credits for affordable housing projects, which are critical for leveraging private investment in low-income housing. The key mechanism requires DCHFA - already managing similar housing finance tools - to now oversee the 9% LIHTC program, streamlining processes and preventing future credit losses like the $3.1 million forfeited in 2025. The legislation aims to maximize existing federal housing dollars by improving coordination across financing tools.
The Housing Production Omnibus Amendment Act of 2026 replaces the District of Columbia's Housing Production Trust Fund with a new Housing Opportunity Fund, organized into five dedicated funding streams: building new housing, subsidizing deeply affordable units, preserving existing affordable housing, supporting tenant purchases of buildings, and using public land for housing development. Key provisions include allowing the District's retirement funds to invest in local housing projects, giving the government more authority to acquire land in high-need areas, and creating a revolving loan fund to quickly finance projects on public land. The bill also sets minimum affordability periods for housing units supported by the fund and updates tenant purchase programs to help residents buy their buildings. This legislation directly affects D.C. residents seeking affordable housing, developers, and tenant groups by restructuring how housing funds are managed and distributed.
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 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 resolution authorizes the District of Columbia to issue up to $700 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds for DC Housing Solutions, Inc. (a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization) to finance the renovation of 19 multifamily housing buildings across seven wards, totaling 3,497 units. The bonds will be used to cover costs for acquiring, renovating, and modernizing these buildings - specifically including projects like Carroll Apartments (60 units) and Claridge Towers (343 units) - without using District general funds or taxing power. The District bears no financial liability, as the bonds are non-recourse and do not constitute a debt of the District under the Home Rule Act. This directly affects residents of the 3,500 renovated housing units across Wards 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
This bill restructures the District of Columbia Housing Authority's governing board, requiring residents to elect two board members (with terms starting in 2025 and 2026) and mandating the Mayor appoint seven members with specific expertise (e.g., federal housing law, affordable housing finance). It updates reporting requirements from monthly to quarterly and revises the resident bill of rights. The changes directly affect DC Housing Authority residents, governance, and the Authority's operations. The bill also adjusts board stipends and includes transition rules for current board members.
This bill amends a 1939 law to require specific government-related organizations (like DC Water, the Housing Finance Agency, and the DC Housing Authority) to follow existing affordable housing rules when selling land for new multifamily housing developments with 10+ units. It directly affects these entities when they dispose of property that will be developed into residential buildings, applying the same affordable housing requirements already used for public land sales. The key provision extends current rules from section 801(b-3) to cover these quasi-governmental organizations’ land dispositions. This change ensures these entities contribute to affordable housing production when developing new residential properties on their land.
