The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCRL-2022-C-0105 with Community Services for Autistic Adults and Children, Inc. (CSAAC) to exercise Option Year Three, which will extend the contract period from July 6, 2025, through July 5, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $3,038,305.05. Under this modification, CSAAC will continue to provide Residential Treatment and Education Services for Autistic Youth on a 24/7 basis. The contract is part of the ongoing efforts to support autistic youth in the District of Columbia, ensuring they receive necessary treatment and educational services.

The contract modification is supported by certifications from the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, confirming that the necessary funds are available within the District's Local Budget and Financial Plan for Fiscal Year 2025. The funding for the subsequent period, from October 1, 2025, through July 5, 2026, will be contingent upon the approval of the District's FY-2026 budget. The bill emphasizes the importance of these services and the financial commitment to ensure their continuation for the benefit of autistic youth in the community.
