The Langston Slater Surplus Declaration and Disposition Approval Act of 2026 authorizes the Council of the District of Columbia to declare the District-owned real property known as the Langston and Slater Schools, located at 33-45 P Street, NW, as surplus and approve its disposition. The property, which consists of approximately 30,000 square feet and is no longer required for public purposes, will be developed by Lebanon Village at Langston Slater MD LLC into a mixed-income residential project. The act outlines specific requirements for the developer, including dedicating at least 30% of the residential units as affordable housing and contracting with Certified Business Enterprises for a minimum of 35% of the project’s contract dollar volume.

The act also stipulates that the Mayor's authority to dispose of the property will expire three years after the act's effective date. The method of disposition will involve a ground lease for rental units and a fee simple private sale for units intended for sale. The act includes provisions for a First Source Agreement to ensure job creation and employment opportunities resulting from the development. The fiscal impact statement associated with the act has been adopted by the Council, and the act will take effect following the Mayor's approval and a 30-day congressional review period.
