2027 focus

In 2027, the District of Columbia will start a new Council term with at least four new councilmembers, and we will have a new mayoral administration. More turnover on the Council may also be coming after the election. D.C. faces a significant budget shortfall and the increasing involvement of the federal government in local governance issues. The D.C. Public Policy Committee will have to make inroads with a new political landscape and discuss many difficult legislative and regulatory changes that are set to take place to bring better reform to the housing legislation and policies in D.C.
