D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 14, r. 14-9500
The District of Columbia Housing Authority's (DCHA) Local Rent Supplement Program (LRSP) is authorized and funded with annual appropriations by the District of Columbia government. The intent of the LRSP is to increase the stock of permanent affordable housing units in the District of Columbia. It is designed to complement the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP) which is funded by the federal government and administered by the DCHA. Similar to HCVP, the LRSP is designed so that households contribute thirty percent (30%) of their adjusted annual income toward the cost for housing. The LRSP will pay the difference in the cost of housing. The LRSP has three types of housing assistance: Tenant-based, Project-based, and Sponsor- based. For the most part, and unless otherwise specified in this Chapter, the LRSP follows the rules and regulations of the HCVP program as may be amended from time to time. Some of the differences between LRSP and HCVP, as specified more fully herein, are that LRSP is not for housing outside of the District of Columbia and the preferences and priorities for the housing assistance are different than those specified in the HCVP rules and regulations.
