D.C. will give out $10 million in grants to help some landlords forgive back rent
D.C. officials will hand out grants to some landlords to forgive back rents and stay afloat financially while the pandemic drags on.
Mayor Muriel Bowser announced on Monday a new $10 million fund for these “Housing Stabilization Grants,” targeting them to owners of affordable properties and other small buildings around the city. Of the total, $9 million will be set aside for affordable projects, and $1 million for owners of 20 units or fewer.
