The District of Columbia Housing Authority Stabilization and Reform Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 aims to reform the governance and operations of the District of Columbia Housing Authority by establishing a temporary Stabilization and Reform Board. This new board will replace the existing Board of Commissioners and will consist of nine voting members, all of whom must be residents of the District, along with two non-voting members. The bill outlines specific qualifications for the voting members, including experience in housing development, affordable housing finance, and federal housing law. The board is tasked with overseeing the Authority's operations and ensuring compliance with federal standards, particularly those identified in a 2022 assessment by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Key amendments to the existing law include the replacement of the term "Board of Commissioners" with "Stabilization and Reform Board," the repeal of certain paragraphs, and the introduction of new sections detailing the board's responsibilities and the reporting requirements for the Executive Director. The bill also mandates that the board hold public meetings and provide opportunities for resident input, ensuring transparency and community involvement in the housing authority's operations. The act is set to take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days.
