The "Modification Nos. M0014 and M0015 to Contract No. CW100317 with Transitional Housing Corporation dba Housing Up Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2025" is an emergency bill aimed at approving two modifications to an existing contract with Transitional Housing Corporation, which provides essential case management services under the Permanent Supportive Housing III program. The bill authorizes a payment not to exceed $1,669,769.72 for the services rendered and to be rendered under these modifications, while also allowing for the full exercise of option year three of the contract. This ensures the continuation of vital services for chronically homeless individuals and families in the District of Columbia, particularly as the modifications reflect a decrease in the number of clients to be served in the upcoming option years.

Additionally, the bill amends the existing Human Care Agreement (HCA) to extend the contract terms for the remainder of option period three, increasing the total not-to-exceed amount from $813,211.80 to $1,669,769.72 for the period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. It includes a deletion of 29 DCMR Chapter 25 and 77, replacing it with 29 DCMR Chapters 25 and 74, and incorporates the US Department of Labor Wage Determination No. 2015-4281, Revision No. 34. The bill also adjusts the District of Columbia's Living Wage rate to $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, and to $17.95 per hour effective July 1, 2025. Furthermore, it introduces financial incentives for case management staff, including hiring and retention bonuses, while ensuring that all other terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged.
