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 Child and Family Services Agency's efforts to support autistic youth in the District of Columbia.

The contract modification is supported by certifications from the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, confirming that the necessary funds are available in the District's Local Budget and Financial Plan for Fiscal Year 2025. The funding for the contract is allocated between the Child and Family Services Agency and the Office of the State Superintendent of Education, with future funding for Fiscal Year 2026 subject to budget approval. The bill emphasizes the importance of these services and the financial backing to ensure their continuation.
