A RESOLUTION
25-532
IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
June 25, 2024
To declare the existence of an emergency regarding the need to provide financial relief and
other assistance to the current owners of the condominium units at the River East at
Grandview Condominiums.
RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution
may be cited as the “Relief for River East at Grandview Condominium Owners Congressional
Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024”.
Sec. 2. (a) On April 2, 2024, the Council passed the Relief for River East at Grandview
Condominium Owners Emergency Amendment Act of 2024 to immediately ensure that River
East at Grandview owners could access stable housing before their rental supports expired and
to begin to provide an overdue solution to 46 households who have endured ongoing
uncertainty and stress since the devastating loss of their River East at Grandview homes almost
3 years ago.
(b) The Relief for River East at Grandview Condominium Owners Emergency
Amendment Act of 2024 legislation also included a provision separate from the River East at
Grandview matter, which provides funding authority to complete the Skyland Town Center
development.
(c) The Relief for River East at Grandview Condominium Owners Emergency
Amendment Act of 2024 will expire on July 14, 2024.
(d) On May 7, 2024, the Council passed the Relief for River East at Grandview
Condominium Owners Temporary Amendment Act of 2024, which is currently undergoing
Congressional review and is not projected to become law until August 1, 2024. This
emergency legislation is therefore necessary to prevent a gap in the law between the expiration
of the emergency act and the effective date of the temporary act.
Sec. 3. The Council determines that the circumstances enumerated in section 2
constitute emergency circumstances making it necessary that the Relief for River East at
Grandview Condominium Owners Congressional Review Emergency Act of 2024 be adopted
after a single reading.
Sec. 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately.
