This modification allows the organization to continue providing vital services such as case management, utility assistance, and financial support for chronically homeless individuals and families. The modification also updates reimbursement rates for case management services to align with the District's living wage laws, increasing the rate to $17.95 per hour effective July 1, 2025, while confirming the contractor's compliance with District tax obligations.

The bill outlines the financial structure for the contract, detailing allocations for case management reimbursement, utility assistance, and cost reimbursement. For Option Period Three, the case management reimbursement is set at $2,818,263.54, with additional funds for utility assistance and cost reimbursement. The same total not-to-exceed amount and allocations are maintained for Option Period Four, ensuring consistency in support for both individuals and families. The bill also includes provisions for financial incentives, such as hiring and retention bonuses for case managers and supervisors, aimed at enhancing the quality of services provided under the program.
