The District of Columbia Housing Authority Stabilization and Reform Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 aims to temporarily establish a Stabilization and Reform Board to oversee the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) and implement necessary reforms to improve its operations. The bill amends the District of Columbia Housing Authority Act of 1999 by replacing the "Board of Commissioners" with the "Stabilization and Reform Board" and repealing certain provisions, including paragraph (12) of Section 2. It introduces new definitions and establishes the composition of the Board, which will include nine voting members with relevant experience and two non-voting members, all appointed by the Mayor with the Council's advice and consent.
Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the Executive Director and the Stabilization and Reform Board, including submitting quarterly reports on progress in addressing issues identified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and improving the management of housing properties. It mandates public meetings, ensures transparency, and requires the Board to consider input from the City-Wide Resident Advisory Board. The act will take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will expire after 225 days.
