The proposed Contract Modification No. M033 to Contract No. DCRL-2021-C-0034 with The National Center for Children and Families, Inc. (NCCF) seeks to exercise option year two for the provision of foster care placement and case management services for children and youth in the District's foster care system. The modification is set for the period from March 17, 2025, through March 16, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $20,251,863.05. This follows the previous contract amounts, which included a base period of $66,685,858.11 and an option period one amount of $20,161,681.37.

The contract modification is supported by a certification from the Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) that sufficient funds are available in the approved budget for fiscal year 2025 to cover the costs associated with the contract. Additionally, the Citywide Clean Hands database confirms that NCCF is current with its District taxes, ensuring compliance with local regulations. The total contract value, including all periods, amounts to $107,059,129.53, and all other terms and conditions of the original contract remain unchanged.
