D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 14, r. 14-5775
Achie ving Your Best Life ("AYBL"), governed by rules found at 14 DCMR §§ 9800 et seq., is a program that allows public housing residents in the District to increase earned income and to prepare to purchase a home or rent in the private market without government assistance.
When a public housing project coverts under RAD, those tenants who have already entered into an AYBL contract as required under 14 DCMR § 9817 will remain in the AYBL program until the AYBL contract terminates. The regulations enumerated at 14 DCMR §§ 9800 et seq. will continue to govern these residents' participation in the ABYL program, even though DCHA will no longer be functioning as landlord for the property.
Until the AYBL contract terminates, monthly tenant rent shall be reduced by the amount paid that month by a household member into an AYBL account.
Residents of units funded by project-based voucher assistance are not eligible for admission to the ABYL program.
