The Fair Share Housing Targets Act of 2025 aims to establish a structured approach for housing production and affordable housing in the District of Columbia by requiring the Mayor to set new housing targets every five years. The legislation mandates that specific housing targets be established for each of the District's ten Planning Areas, ensuring that all neighborhoods contribute fairly to housing production. The bill also includes provisions for tracking progress towards these targets on a quarterly basis and requires the Mayor to maintain a publicly accessible dashboard that details the affordability levels of units produced.

Additionally, the bill introduces a process for assessing and addressing barriers to housing production in any Planning Area that fails to meet its housing targets. Within 120 days of a target date, the Mayor must select an independent evaluator to identify impediments to housing production and propose remedies. The Mayor is also authorized to submit amendments to relevant planning documents to facilitate housing production, bypassing the regular amendment cycle if necessary. This legislation builds on previous housing goals set by the Mayor, aiming to ensure equitable contributions to housing across the District.
