At-Large DC Councilmember Vincent Orange recently introduced a bill that is meant to boost the number of affordable housing for Millennials and lower-income residents, but actually violates fair housing laws due to its age restriction. The bill proposes the construction of 1,000 tiny homes with 125 in each of Washington, D.C.'s eight wards. The selection process as to who will live in each tiny home will be targeted towards first-time homebuyers, those between the ages of 18 to 33, and those making minimum wage.
