Closing of Portions of a Public Alley in Square 571, S.O. 25-01939, Act of 2026

This bill orders the closing of specific sections of a public alley in Square 571 in Ward 6 to facilitate the construction of a new homeless shelter. The alley closures will allow the land to be consolidated into a single record lot, enabling developers to build a modernized shelter operated by the Community for Creative Non-Violence (CCNV) that meets current zoning requirements for height and density. The legislation is contingent on conditions outlined in an official file and requires approval from the Mayor, a 30-day congressional review period, and publication in the District of Columbia Register before taking effect. This change is intended to support a planned $57.5 million capital project to replace the existing shelter site.
