Councilmember Anita Bonds held a public roundtable to discuss the District’s Opportunity to Purchase Act and explore potential improvements to the existing program. Legislation was introduced in Council Period 23 and has been re-introduced in Council Period 24 that would change program requirements in order to bolster participation in the program and bring it in line with federal housing programs. Attached is testimony from DHCD Director Polly Donaldson.
