Testimony: Emergency Rental Assistance Reform Amendment Act of 2024

Policy Attorney Makenna Osborn testified before the Committe on Housing regarding B25-0994: Emergency Rental Assistance Reform Amendment Act of 2024. Children’s Law Center supports the Council’s goal of improving ERAP and aiding affordable housing providers in crisis. However, there are adjustments that we believe will ensure the Act effectively increases the speed with which tenants move through the ERAP process and landlords receive ERAP payments without removing important protections for DC families.
