The proposed bill involves a contract between the District of Columbia and Flats at South Capitol LLC, which seeks to provide funding of $23,602,679 from the Housing Production Trust Fund. This funding will be utilized to finance the acquisition, construction, and related costs for an affordable housing project that will consist of 106 units located at 3848 South Capitol Street SE in Ward 8. The bill emphasizes the importance of this project in addressing the need for affordable housing in the area.
Additionally, the bill outlines the requirement for the Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) 8D to submit comments on the proposed funding within a 30-business day period, during which the Department of Housing and Community Development is obligated to give "great weight" to any relevant concerns or recommendations from the ANC. The deadline for comments is set for March 17, 2025, and the Department has provided contact information for further inquiries regarding the project.
