Housing costs in DC are rising and too many people are being priced out. More Affordable DC aims to pass a new ballot initiative that would help renters and families stay in DC.
The ballot initiative’s key provisions institute a two-year rent freeze, trigger rent freezes during high-inflation periods, and standardize affordable housing eligibility at or below 60% of Area Median Income (AMI). The Act also restructures D.C. government land disposition, Housing Production Trust Fund (HPTF) allocations, and Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) programs to promote deeper affordability, larger family units, and long-term rent stabilization.
