The 2607 Connecticut Avenue NW Timeline Extension and Tax Forgiveness Act of 2025 aims to extend the certification period for the nonprofit organization So Others Might Eat (SOME) to qualify for a tax exemption under the Nonprofit Workforce Housing Properties Real Property Tax Exemption Amendment Act of 2019. Specifically, the bill extends the current 12-month requirement to 36 months for the property located at 2607 Connecticut Avenue NW, allowing SOME to meet the necessary criteria for tax exemption. Additionally, the legislation stipulates that if the property qualifies for the exemption, all real property and recordation taxes assessed since January 23, 2023, will be forgiven, and any payments made will be refunded.

This bill is introduced in response to challenges faced by SOME in leasing the affordable housing units at the property, which has hindered its ability to utilize the intended tax benefits for social services and housing development. By providing a longer timeframe for certification and potential tax forgiveness, the legislation seeks to support SOME's mission of addressing poverty and homelessness in Washington, D.C., while ensuring that the organization can allocate its resources effectively towards its community services.
