The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve two modifications (M0013 and M0014) to Contract No. CW100309 with The National Center for Children and Families, Inc. These modifications are essential for the continuation of the Permanent Supportive Housing III program case management services. Modification M0013, executed on July 1, 2025, partially exercised option year 3 of the contract for a total of $521,220.50, while proposed Modification M0014 will fully exercise the remainder of option year 3, increasing the total contract amount to $1,035,556.24.

The resolution emphasizes that Council approval is necessary due to the increase in contract value exceeding $1 million within a 12-month period, as mandated by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. Without this approval, The National Center for Children and Families, Inc. 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.
