The resolution proposes the approval of a long-term subsidy contract between the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) and 950 Eastern Ave TM L.L.C. to support the Local Rent Supplement Program (LRSP). This contract will provide an annual housing subsidy of $437,216 for a duration of 20 years, aimed at funding thirteen affordable housing units located at 950 Eastern Avenue, NE. The LRSP was established to assist extremely low-income households, including those who are homeless or require supportive services, by providing affordable housing options.
The resolution highlights the urgent need for affordable housing solutions for extremely low-income families, particularly those earning 30% or less of the area median income. By approving this contract, the Council will enable DCHA to facilitate the leasing of rehabilitated units to eligible households, thereby addressing the critical housing needs within the District. The resolution is set to take effect immediately upon adoption and will be transmitted to the DCHA and the Mayor following approval.
