The proposed Modification No. M00003 to Human Care Agreement No. CW112309 with St. Johns Community Services seeks to exercise the first option year of the agreement, allowing the contractor to continue providing essential residential services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The modification specifies a not-to-exceed amount of $1,714,823.05 for the period from April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026. This agreement is part of the District's efforts to ensure that individuals with disabilities receive necessary support that is not covered by Medicaid.

Additionally, the modification includes an increase in the living wage rate for workers under the agreement, raising it to $17.50 effective January 1, 2025, and further increasing it to $18.00 per hour starting July 1, 2025. The contract remains within the appropriated budget authority for the agency and is consistent with the financial plan adopted by the District. All other terms and conditions of the original agreement will remain unchanged.
