The proposed Modification No. M011 to Contract No. DCRL-2022-H-0045 with Innovative Life Solutions (ILS) seeks to exercise the second option year of the contract, which will run from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, for a not-to-exceed amount of $1,439,012.40. This modification allows ILS to continue providing specialized care for youth aged 16 to 21 who face behavioral health challenges and developmental disabilities and cannot be accommodated by traditional foster homes or group living arrangements.

The contract modification is supported by a certification from the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, confirming that the necessary funds are included in the District's Local Budget and Financial Plan for Fiscal Year 2026. The contract's total value, including the base year and both option years, amounts to $4,335,138.23. The modification ensures that ILS can maintain its services for this vulnerable population, addressing their unique needs effectively.
