Foreclosure Moratorium and Homeowner Assistance Fund Coordination Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares a legislative emergency to prevent a gap in foreclosure protections between two related laws in the District of Columbia. It ensures that homeowners who applied for assistance from the DC Homeowner Assistance Fund before September 30, 2022, continue to receive notices about the program before any foreclosure action is taken. The measure also maintains existing rules that pause foreclosures for these applicants while their applications are still being reviewed or appealed. By acting immediately, the resolution bridges the time until a separate temporary law is expected to take effect in December 2024.
