B 25-0893 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

District of Columbia Housing Authority Stabilization and Reform Temporary Amendment Act of 2024

This bill temporarily replaces the existing leadership of the District of Columbia Housing Authority with a new Stabilization and Reform Board to oversee the agency's operations. The board will consist of nine voting members appointed by the Mayor, including experts in housing development, finance, and federal law, as well as representatives from the homelessness council and budget office. Specific individuals are immediately appointed to fill key roles on this board, while the definition of a dwelling unit is updated to clarify what spaces count as housing. The legislation aims to revitalize the authority by requiring the new board and executive director to take specific actions to reform the agency's management and operations.
