The Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program Protection Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025 was introduced to address the urgent need for continued support for participants in the Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program. This resolution highlights the potential risk of families being exited from the program without securing permanent housing, thereby necessitating immediate legislative action. The Council of the District of Columbia previously enacted the Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program Protection Emergency Amendment Act of 2024, which aimed to ensure due process protections for families exiting the program. However, the temporary measures established by this act are set to expire on July 10, 2025, prompting the need for further emergency legislation.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of maintaining existing protections and allowing for extensions of housing assistance for families facing termination, contingent on available funding and individual circumstances. The Council has determined that the situation constitutes an emergency, warranting the adoption of the new amendment after a single reading. The resolution is designed to take effect immediately to provide timely relief to affected families.
