District of Columbia Housing Authority Board of Commissioners Raymond Skinner Confirmation Resolution of 2026

This resolution confirms Mayor Muriel Bowser's appointment of Raymond Skinner as an interim commissioner for the District of Columbia Housing Authority Board of Commissioners for a one-year term. Skinner, a retired housing executive with extensive experience in affordable housing development and finance (including as Maryland's Housing Secretary and CEO of East Baltimore Development Inc.), meets the requirement for professional expertise in the field. The resolution formally approves his appointment under the District of Columbia Housing Authority Act of 1999, requiring the Council to confirm the nomination before his term begins. It does not create new policy but facilitates a routine confirmation process for an existing appointment.

Introduction → Enrollment · 2 edits
MINOR
The document was converted from a Mayor's nomination letter to an official Council resolution. The text was streamlined to remove the nomination letter format and biographical details, focusing instead on the formal confirmation of Raymond Skinner's reappointment to the Housing Authority Board. A minor legal citation was updated to correct the statute section number.
Scope change
The scope of the document changed from a nomination letter to a formal legislative resolution, but the substantive action (confirming Skinner's reappointment) remains the same.
TECHNICAL

The document format changed from a nomination letter to a formal resolution, removing the Mayor's signature block and biographical narrative.

A legal citation in the resolution text was updated from 'D.C. Official Code § 6-210.01' to 'D.C. Official Code § 6-203.01'.
