	70	+	28
	71	+	Act of 2006 ("BSA") to provide funding for affordable housing for extremely low-income
	72	+	29 households in the District. The passage
	73	+	of the BSA created the Local Rent Supplement Program
	74	+	30 ("LRSP"), a program designed to provide affordable housing and supportive services to
	75	+	31 extremely low-income District residents, including those who are homeless or in need of
	76	+	32 supportive services, such as elderly individuals or those with disabilities, through project-based,
	77	+	33 tenant-based, and sponsored-based
	78	+	LRSP affordable housing units. The BSA provided for the
	79	+	34 District

	81	+	35 District.
	82	+	{0030893

	86	+	of funds from multiple district agencies, including DCHA, DHCD, the Department
	87	+	4
	88	+	of Behavioral Health, the Department of Human Services, and the District of Columbia Housing
	89	+	5 Finance Agency.
	90	+	Of the total proposals received, eleven (11) developers were chosen to work
	91	+	6 with DCHA and others
	92	+	to develop affordable housing and permanent supportive housing units
	93	+	7 for extremely low income families making zero to thirty percent (30%)
	94	+	of the area's median
	95	+	8 income,
	96	+	as well as the chronically homeless and individuals with mental or physical disabilities
	97	+	9 throughout Washington, DC.
	98	+	10 Upon approval of the contract by the Council, DCHA will enter into an agreement to
	99	+	11 enter into a long-term subsidy contract ("ALTSC") with the selected housing providers under the
	100	+	12 LRSP for housing services.
	101	+	13 (c) There exists an immediate need to approve the long term subsidy contract with Jubilee
	102	+	14 Ontario Place LP under the LRSP in order
	103	+	to provide long-term affordable housing units for
	104	+	15 extremely low-income households for units located at 2400 Ontario Road NW.
	105	+	16 ( d) The legislation to approve the contract will authorize an ALTSC between the District
	106	+	17 of Columbia Housing Authority and Jubilee Ontario Place LP with respect to the payment of a
	107	+	18 rental subsidy and allows the owner to lease the rehabilitated units at Jubilee Ontario Apartments
	108	+	19 and house extremely low-income households with incomes at 30% or less of the area median
	109	+	20 mcome.

	113	+	23 Procurement Practices Reform Act of 2010, effective April 8, 2011 (D.C. Law 18-371; D.C.
