LRSP apartments in Washington, DC
DC's Local Rent Supplement Program (LRSP) is a District-funded rental assistance program administered by the DC Housing Authority (DCHA). LRSP tenants receive vouchers that pay the difference between 30% of household income and the unit's rent (up to the payment standard). Unlike NYC's CityFHEPS, LRSP is NOT portable outside DC — LRSP holders must rent within District boundaries. Below are the current payment standards, the governing state agency, and the 37 neighborhoods where we track voucher-friendly search demand.
Voucher discrimination is illegal here
DC's Human Rights Act (D.C. Law 2-38, 1977 — SOI added 2005) prohibits housing discrimination based on source of income. One of the oldest and strongest SOI laws in the U.S. — applies to all landlords citywide with no unit floor. Enforcement via the DC Office of Human Rights.
