	92	+	II of the Fiscal Year 2007 Budget Support
	93	+	Act of 2006 ("BSA") to provide funding for affordable housing for extremely low-income
	94	+	households in the District.
	95	+	The passage of the BSA created the Local Rent Supplement Program
	96	+	("LRSP"), a program designed to provide affordable housing and supportive services to
	97	+	extremely low-income District residents, including those who are homeless
	98	+	or in need of
	99	+	supportive services, such as elderly individuals or those with disabilities, through project-based,
	100	+	tenant-based, and sponsored-
	101	+	based LRSP affordable housing units. The BSA provided for the
	102	+	District
	103	+	of Columbia Housing Authority (" DCHA") to administer the LRSP on behalf of the
	104	+	District.

	110	+	4 Health, the Department
	111	+	of Human Services, and the District of Columbia Housing Finance
	112	+	5 Agency.
	113	+	Of the total proposals received, thirty-four developers were chosen to work with DCHA
	114	+	6 and others to develop affordable housing and permanent supportive housing units for extremely
	115	+	7 low income families making zero to thirty percent (30%)
	116	+	of the area's median income, as well as
	117	+	8 the chronically homeless and individuals with mental or physical disabilities throughout
	118	+	9 Washington, DC.
	119	+	10 ( c) There exists an immediate need to approve the long term subsidy contract with Lisner Senior
	120	+	11 Independent Owner LP under the LRSP in order to provide long-term affordable housing units
	121	+	12 for extremely low-income households for units located at 5445 Western Avenue NW.
	122	+	13 ( d) The legislation to approve the contract will authorize an AL TSC between the District of
	123	+	14 Columbia Housing Authority and Lisner Senior Independent Owner LP with respect to the
	124	+	15 payment of a rental subsidy and allows the owner to lease the rehabilitated units at Lisner Senior
	125	+	16 Apartments and house extremely low-income households with incomes at 30% or less of the area
	126	+	17 median income.
