The resolution declares an emergency regarding the approval of Modification Nos. M0015, M0016, and M0017 to Contract No. CW100384 with Community of Hope, Inc., which provides case management services for the Permanent Supportive Housing III program. It outlines the need for immediate approval to authorize payment for goods and services received and to be received under the contract, as the modifications will increase the contract's value beyond $1 million within a 12-month period, necessitating Council approval.

Modification No. M0015 was executed on June 25, 2025, for a partial option of option year 3, while Modification No. M0016 was executed on October 20, 2025, for an additional partial option at no extra cost. Proposed Modification No. M0017 will finalize the option year 3 and increase the total contract amount to $2,172,341.30. The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, stating that without Council approval, Community of Hope, Inc. would be unable to receive payment for services rendered, thereby jeopardizing the continuation of these essential services. The resolution is set to take effect immediately following its adoption.
