Testimony: Flexible Rent Subsidy Program Amendment Act of 2025

Children’s Law Center Senior Policy Attorney Makenna Osborn testified before the DC Council Committee on Human Services regarding the Flexible Rent Subsidy Program Amendment Act of 2025. Our testimony recommends that the legislation establishing a permanent version of DC Flex be informed by a comprehensive evaluation of the full pilot. Additionally, the testimony argues that to successfully connect enrolled families with long-term housing stability in a cost-effective manner, annual DC Flex rental assistance should be tailored and responsive to the needs of eligible families.
