The DC Housing Solutions, Inc. Revenue Bonds Project Emergency Approval Resolution of 2025 authorizes the issuance of up to $700 million in revenue bonds by the District of Columbia. The funds raised will be loaned to DC Housing Solutions, Inc., a nonprofit organization, to finance the renovation and rehabilitation of nineteen multifamily residential rental buildings, which together provide 3,497 rental units in Washington, DC. The resolution details the roles of the Mayor and other authorized delegates in overseeing the bond issuance process, ensuring compliance with regulations, and managing the specifics of the bond terms, including interest rates and payment schedules.
The resolution underscores the importance of supporting housing development and economic growth in the District while clarifying that the bonds will not be considered a general obligation or debt of the District, nor will they utilize the District's taxing power. It limits the liability of the District and its officials concerning the bonds, ensuring no personal liability arises unless there is willful misconduct. The resolution also outlines the necessary procedures for bond issuance, including public approval requirements and a three-year expiration clause for the authorization if bonds are not issued. It takes effect immediately upon adoption, reflecting the urgency of addressing housing needs in the community.
