D.C. would set deadlines for homeless services contract payment decisions

D.C.'s contracting office would decide whether a contractor is entitled to adjusted contract payments within 60 calendar days of receiving a complete request. This covers homeless services contracts when requests are based on revised wage requirements issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. Contractors must submit all information and documents needed to assess their requests. Officials would confirm completeness in writing within seven business days after receiving those materials. The act would take effect after mayoral approval or a Council veto override and 30 days of congressional review. It would expire 225 days after taking effect.

Two provisions of D.C.'s Rental Housing Act would use October 1, 2026, as their reference date. The date references appear in section 510(b-3) and section 510(b-4)(1) of the Rental Housing Act. The act would need mayoral approval or a Council veto override, followed by 30 days of congressional review. The act would expire 225 days after taking effect.
