Current MPD and OTR pages still describe a Metropolitan Police Housing Assistance Program for first-time DC homebuyers. We have confirmed that OTR directs officers to Housing Counseling Services for a sliding-scale real-property-tax credit, but we have not confirmed which tax or cash benefits remain available for purchases closing after March 30, 2015.
Conflicting information
Current MPD and OTR pages describe MPHAP as available, but the current D.C. Code page for the published five-year tax-credit schedule excludes purchases after March 30, 2015.
These are the actual questions standing between this lead and publication—not a vague completion score.
MPD currently lists MPHAP and OTR currently directs eligible officers to Housing Counseling Services, but neither page publishes a current application or closing-date rule.
MPD Benefits and OTR Real Property Tax Relief ↗The current agency pages use general language. The current D.C. Code page for the five-year sliding property-tax and $2,000 annual income-tax credits says that section does not apply to purchases closing after March 30, 2015.
D.C. Code § 42-2506 ↗The current MPD page points its MPHAP description to the general HPAP page, while separately listing EAHP. The relationship is not explained.
MPD Benefits ↗OTR directs applicants to Housing Counseling Services at 202-667-7006, but no current MPHAP form or required-document list is linked.
OTR Real Property Tax Relief ↗Current agency pages advertise the program, while the current D.C. Code page for the five-year property- and income-tax schedule says that section does not apply to purchases closing after March 30, 2015. Publishing a dollar amount or calling the program open would mislead buyers until the District identifies the current legal authority, benefit schedule, and application form.
