The proposed emergency bill, titled the "Modification Nos. M0013 and M0014 to Contract No. CW100309 with The National Center for Children and Families, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2025," seeks to approve two modifications to an existing contract with The National Center for Children and Families, Inc. The modifications will provide case management services for the Permanent Supportive Housing III program and fully exercise the third option year of the contract. The total not-to-exceed amount for the contract will increase to $1,035,556.24, with Modification No. M0013 already approved for $521,220.50 and Modification No. M0014 adding an additional $514,335.74.
The bill emphasizes the urgent need for these modifications to ensure the continuation of essential services provided by The National Center for Children and Families, Inc. It notes that without Council approval, the organization cannot be compensated for services rendered that exceed $1 million during the specified period. The Council is urged to act promptly on this legislation, which is deemed necessary to address the immediate circumstances surrounding the contract modifications. The resolution is set to take effect immediately upon adoption.
