The resolution presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval for an emergency bill concerning modifications to Contract No. CW100384 with Community of Hope, Inc. This contract pertains to the Permanent Supportive Housing III program, which provides essential case management and financial assistance services. The proposed modifications, specifically M0015, M0016, and M0017, will authorize a total expenditure not to exceed $2,172,341.30, allowing for the continuation of these vital services. The modifications include exercising option year three of the contract and ensuring payment for goods and services already received and to be received.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, as the modifications will increase the contract's value beyond $1 million within a 12-month period, necessitating Council approval under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. Without this approval, Community of Hope, Inc. would be unable to receive payment for services rendered, which could disrupt the provision of critical support to individuals in need. The Council is urged to act promptly to facilitate the continuation of these services, with the resolution set to take effect immediately upon adoption.
