D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 14, r. 14-9802
A Rewards Property is a Public Housing property or unit designated as an incentive of the DCHA AYBL program that will be used to encourage public housing families to move toward self-sufficiency. The DCHA Board of Commissioners', upon recommendation by the DCHA Executive Director, will designate Rewards Properties by resolution. All or a specified number of units at a Rewards Property may be designated as homeownership preparation housing under the AYBL program.
Families selected to participate in the AYBL program and to live in Rewards Properties must meet specific criteria, including a determination of eligibility by DCHA as outlined in the AYBL program eligibility criteria in § 9805 of this chapter.
The size of the program is determined by the number of total designated public housing units located at Rewards Properties. This number may change over the lifetime of the program as new units/properties are added or removed at the sole discretion of DCHA.
AYBL Families may reside at Reward Properties until the following:
In the event of termination of the Contract of Participation, the AYBL Family will be required to transfer to a non-Rewards Property unit in accordance with 14 DCMR Chapter 64. The AYBL Family is responsible for relocation costs.
When a new Rewards Property is available for occupancy or a waiting list is re-opened at an existing Rewards Property, DCHA, based on its current tenant records, will identify those Public Housing residents who appear to meet the minimum AYBL income and bedroom size requirements.
DCHA will make a public announcement stating eligibility requirements and application deadlines. In addition, DCHA will notify those Public Housing residents in writing who may meet the eligibility requirements.
