The District of Columbia provides several forms of rental assistance to low-income tenants to promote housing stability and to avoid potential displacement through eviction. The agencies administering rental assistance are the DC Housing Authority and the Department of Human Services. C100 focuses on the effectiveness of these programs at preventing homelessness and providing support, such as counseling and social services, for residents as they move into more stable housing.

C100 Testimony DC Council FY24 COW Budget Hearing

Meg Maguire


The Mayor’s FY 2024 budget “doesn’t pencil out.” Generous tax breaks for office conversions in the downtown core are favored over programs for affordable housing and rental security that residents living on the margins depend on for stability and a way forward. C100 calls on Council to address problematic legislation in the Budget Support Act either by correcting some provisions or taking them up as standalone legislation.
