District of Columbia Housing Authority Stabilization and Reform Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025
This resolution declares an emergency to extend the temporary governance structure for the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA). It authorizes the existing Stabilization and Reform Board (STAR Board) to continue governing DCHA beyond its current July 10, 2025, expiration date, ensuring uninterrupted operations. The resolution directly affects DCHA’s management of housing programs serving tens of thousands of low-income District residents, including federally funded housing vouchers and public housing. It maintains the 2023 restructuring effort initiated after HUD identified operational concerns in DCHA’s 2022 report.
