District of ColumbiaD.C. would set deadlines for homeless services contract requests
For up to 90 days after enactment, D.C.’s contracting office would face deadlines for handling homeless services contractors’ requests tied to revised federal wage requirements.
What it does
For up to 90 days after enactment, D.C.’s contracting office would have 60 calendar days to decide complete homeless services contract adjustment requests based on revised federal wage requirements. It would also confirm when requests are complete.
Two rental housing provisions would use October 1, 2026, to determine when they apply. This date rule would be part of the temporary emergency act.
Argument forA decision deadline could help homeless services providers plan their budgets when federal wage revisions lead them to seek contract adjustments.
Argument againstContractors could still wait longer than 60 days overall because the decision deadline begins only after they submit all required information.
More detail
D.C.’s contracting office would decide whether homeless services contractors qualify for contract adjustments. Requests must be 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. The office would confirm completeness within seven business days of full submission and decide within 60 calendar days of receiving the complete request. These rules would take effect upon mayoral approval or a Council veto override and last no longer than 90 days.
The act would specify October 1, 2026, in two rental housing provisions. The date applies to section 510(b-3) and section 510(b-4)(1) of the Rental Housing Act. This date rule would take effect upon mayoral approval or a Council veto override and remain in effect for no longer than 90 days.
