BACKGROUND
Rent Stabilization Program Strategic Plan Status Report At its April 22, 2024, meeting, the CED Committee voted unanimously to drop the Rent Stabilization Program Strategic Plan Status Report from the April 22, 2024, meeting agenda and add it to the August 2024 CED Committee meeting agenda. During its discussion, the CED Committee expressed the desire to have the new Housing Director review the proposed Rent Stabilization Program Strategic Plan and offer potential modifications. This change necessitates removing the item from the January-June 2024 CED Committee Work Plan. The item will be included in the proposed August-December 2024 CED Committee Work Plan to be approved at the Rules and Open Government Committee.

Reporting on this work no longer requires a standalone CED Committee work plan item and will be included in the Real Estate Services Division Annual Report.
