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 enhance its operations. The bill amends the District of Columbia Housing Authority Act of 1999 by replacing the existing Board of Commissioners with the new Stabilization and Reform Board, which will consist of nine voting members with relevant expertise, as well as two non-voting members. The bill also outlines the appointment process for board members, stipulating that the Mayor can appoint members with the Council's advice and consent, while certain members can be appointed without this consent.
Additionally, the bill mandates the Executive Director of DCHA to submit quarterly reports detailing progress on addressing issues identified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, improving the leasing process, and maintaining housing properties. It also emphasizes the importance of public engagement by requiring regular meetings of the Stabilization and Reform Board to be open to the public and allowing for public comments. The act will take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will expire after 225 days.
