B 25-0867 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program Protection Emergency Amendment Act of 2024

This bill amends existing laws to allow the District of Columbia's Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program to extend assistance to participants beyond the standard 12-month limit. Under the new rules, eligible individuals can request time extensions if they have made a good faith effort to meet their housing goals but have not yet secured permanent affordable housing. The program will review these requests in 6-month increments with formal checks every three months to ensure participants are making progress toward independent stability. Additionally, if an extension is denied, participants will receive a written explanation and retain the right to appeal the decision while continuing to receive services during the review process.
