District of ColumbiaTemporary law required Reservoir District property to reserve one-third of rentals
The temporary Reservoir District law required the property to reserve one-third of its operating rentals for households in HUD's Washington-area 80% income limit category.
What it does
One-third of the property's operating rentals had to meet a federal affordability rule and serve households in HUD's Washington-area 80% income limit category. The act lasted at most 90 days.
Argument forSetting aside one-third of the units could help households within HUD's regional 80% income limit find a home at the property.
Argument againstThe set-aside could limit the owner's choice of renters for one-third of the units, since those homes are reserved for households that meet the income limit.
More detail
The law required the covered property to set aside one-third of its operating rental homes as affordable. Those homes were for households in HUD's 80% income limit category for the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria area. The homes had to meet a federal affordability definition. The set-aside also had to follow another federal housing rule. The Mayor approved the act on May 28, 2026. It took effect after approval and could last no longer than 90 days.
