The D.C. Council's vote on the DCHA board came amid a contentious public debate on whether problems at the agency could be sufficiently addressed through an emergency measure.
The D.C. Council on Tuesday narrowly voted to temporarily restructure the city housing authority’s governing board amid a contentious public debate on whether problems at the agency could be sufficiently addressed through an emergency measure that was finalized just before the vote, during the legislature’s final meeting of the year.Though the D.C. Housing Authority has had issues for years, calls to modify the DCHA’s board increased drastically after a September report by the U.S.
“The council cannot completely control who’s on this board, so there’s no way around working with the mayor,” council member Robert C. White Jr. said, adding that the need for urgent change outweighs any issues with the legislative process. “What we have done by pushing the mayor and working with colleagues is get this bill in a position where it’s not just better, it’s good.”Council member Janeese Lewis George was among those who expressed concerns.
Silverman, who is leaving the council after losing her reelection bid last month, also encouraged her colleagues not to vote for the emergency proposal: “Vote no, let the alarm-ringers stay on the board, and let the HUD report and the council’s accountability requirements actually push DCHA toward rapid corrective actions.”The council voted 9-4 to approve the measure, just reaching the supermajority required for emergency bills. Lewis George, Silverman, Pinto and Trayon White Sr. voted no.
