The proposed resolution, introduced by Councilmember Matthew Frumin, declares an emergency regarding the need to provide relief to participants of the Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program (FRSP) who may face exit from the program without being approved for permanent housing. The resolution cites the unanimous approval of the Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program Protection Emergency Amendment Act of 2024, which was enacted to ensure due process protections for families exiting the FRSP. This prior emergency legislation is set to expire on July 10, 2025, and no new legislation has been introduced to repeal it.

The resolution emphasizes the necessity of continuing these protections to maintain the current status quo and allow for extensions of housing assistance for families at risk of termination, provided that funding is available. The Council of the District of Columbia recognizes the circumstances outlined in the resolution as an emergency, warranting the immediate adoption of the Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program Protection Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 after a single reading. The resolution is designed to take effect immediately to address the urgent needs of affected families.
