Bill > B26-0123

This bill approves a 20-year multiyear contract (Contract No. DHCD-2025-50) between the District of Columbia's Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and Jubilee Housing, Inc., with a total value not to exceed $33,679,648. The bill specifically overrides several existing procurement and housing laws to enable this contract, including the Procurement Practices Reform Act and the Reentry Housing and Services Program Act. The contract is being approved under the Council's authority granted by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, and the bill authorizes the DHCD Director to enter into the agreement on behalf of the District. The act is an emergency measure, meaning it will be in effect for no more than 90 days, and it requires approval by the Mayor (or an override of a potential mayoral veto by the Council). The bill also adopts the Chief Financial Officer's fiscal impact statement, indicating that the financial implications of the contract have been reviewed and assessed.
