The proposed bill seeks to modify the existing Human Care Agreement with The National Center for Children and Families, Inc. to exercise the first option year, allowing for continued services at a short-term family housing site for families experiencing homelessness in Washington, D.C. The modification allocates a maximum funding amount of $2,741,891.96 for the period from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, and includes updates to the contract's terms, such as the prohibition of sexual harassment in the workplace. Additionally, the bill introduces a revised Price Schedule for the Short-Term Family Housing (STFH) program, new deliverables related to food programs, and updated definitions for key terms, all aimed at enhancing the program's effectiveness and compliance.

Furthermore, the bill modifies staffing requirements, extending the timeframe for families to access housing from 90 days to 120 days, and emphasizes a strengths-based approach in case management. It mandates regular contact between case managers and residents, updates fire safety protocols, and establishes detailed cleaning and maintenance standards for facilities. New requirements for pest control and food service compliance are also included, along with provisions for the operation of overflow services when shelter capacity reaches 80 percent. Overall, these modifications aim to improve the quality of services provided to families in need and ensure a safe, clean, and supportive environment.
