The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve several modifications to Contract No. CW96234 with Umbrella Therapeutic Services, Inc., which provides essential pre- and post-transitional care home services to youth in the District. Specifically, it addresses Modification Nos. M009, M0010, and M0011, which have already been executed, and proposed Modification No. M0012, which is necessary to continue these services.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, as the continuation of these vital services depends on the Council's approval. It states that the circumstances warrant immediate action, allowing the resolution to be adopted after a single reading. The resolution is effective immediately upon passage, ensuring that Umbrella Therapeutic Services, Inc. can be compensated for the goods and services provided under the contract.
