D.C. would roll back pandemic-era eviction protections and emergency rental assistance policies.

The bill would also authorize expedited evictions for people arrested for violent crimes.

Housing providers say they are losing the ability to maintain and develop housing for low-income tenants because of massive backlogs in unpaid rent.

Mayor Muriel E. Bowser : "We are at risk of losing affordable units".

The bill would allow for expedited evictions in cases where tenants are arrested for violent crimes in or adjacent to their housing accommodations.

It also attempts to streamline the court process for eviction proceedings to address a concern, shared by both housing providers and tenant advocates, that court backlogs are exacerbating uncertainty for tenants.

Bowser says she hopes lawmakers will give the bill a hearing before she presents her budget in the spring .
