Local Rent Supplement Contract Number 2025-LRSP-02A with Flats at South Capitol LLC Approval Resolution of 2025

This resolution approves a 15-year, $486,960 annual subsidy for 22 affordable housing units at Flats at South Capitol Apartments (3838 South Capitol Street SE). It directly supports extremely low-income households (earning 30% or less of the area median income) by enabling the property owner, Flats at South Capitol LLC, to lease units at subsidized rates through the District’s Local Rent Supplement Program (LRSP). The subsidy, funded by DCHA, ensures long-term affordability for these specific units without requiring new legislation. This is a routine approval of an existing housing contract, not a policy change.

MODERATE

The document transitioned from a letter of transmittal to a formal enrolled resolution. The core policy content remains substantially the same, approving a 20-year housing subsidy contract for 22 affordable units at Flats at South Capitol Apartments. The primary changes are formatting and structural, converting the document from a letter to the Council Chairman into an official enrolled legislative resolution.

TECHNICAL

Added enrolled resolution header with bill number 26-47 and date March 4, 2025, indicating the document has been formally approved and enrolled.

Removed the letter format including date February 25, 2025, recipient information, and signature block from Executive Director Keith Pettigrew.

Reorganized content from letter format to standard resolution format with numbered sections (Sec. 2 through Sec. 5) instead of paragraph-based letter content.
