The modification allows for a not-to-exceed amount of $2,246,157.60, covering the period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.

Additionally, the modification includes an increase in the living wage and minimum wage rates to $17.95 per hour, effective July 1, 2025. All other terms and conditions of the original agreement remain unchanged.
