The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve two modifications (M0014 and M0015) to Contract No. CW100317 with the Transitional Housing Corporation, also known as Housing Up. These modifications are essential for the continuation of the Permanent Supportive Housing III program case management services, which are critical for providing support to individuals in need. Modification M0014, executed on June 25, 2025, partially exercised option year 3 of the contract for a total of $813,211.80, while proposed Modification M0015 will fully exercise the remainder of option year 3, increasing the total contract amount to $1,669,769.72.

The resolution emphasizes that Council approval is necessary due to the contract's value exceeding $1 million within a 12-month period, as mandated by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. Without this approval, the Transitional Housing Corporation would be unable to receive payment for services rendered beyond the $1 million threshold from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The Council has determined that the circumstances warrant immediate action, allowing the resolution to take effect immediately after a single reading.
