The proposed Modification No. M0004 to Human Care Agreement No. CW119504 seeks to exercise the first option year for CORE DC, LLC, allowing the continuation of essential services at a short-term family housing site in the District of Columbia. The modification allocates a not-to-exceed amount of $2,068,216.18 for the period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with funding certified as available within the District's Local Budget and Financial Plan for Fiscal Year 2026. The modification also includes updates to the contract's terms, such as the deletion and replacement of specific sections related to pricing schedules and definitions, as well as the incorporation of new deliverables and performance metrics aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of the agreement.

Additionally, the bill introduces several modifications to existing regulations governing Short-Term Family Housing (STFH) programs, including a limitation on fund carryover and updated price schedules for performance periods, culminating in a total of $13,080,080.98. It extends the timeline for families to access housing from 90 to 120 days and emphasizes a strengths-based approach in case management. The bill also mandates regular fire safety drills, updates responsibilities for maintenance and operational procedures, and introduces new requirements for food service providers participating in federal programs. Overall, these changes aim to improve the quality, accountability, and safety of services provided to families experiencing homelessness, ensuring that all staff meet necessary qualifications and that comprehensive documentation is maintained.
