The "Modification Nos. M0015, M0016, and M0017 to Contract No. CW100384 with Community of Hope, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2025" is an emergency bill introduced by Mayor Muriel Bowser to authorize significant modifications to an existing contract with Community of Hope, Inc. The bill approves modifications that will allow for an increase in the total not-to-exceed amount for the contract from $834,209.35 to $2,172,341.30, covering the Permanent Supportive Housing III case management and financial assistance program. This funding is essential for providing uninterrupted services to chronically homeless individuals and families in the District of Columbia, ensuring that Community of Hope can continue to support an increased client capacity.

Additionally, the bill amends the Human Care Agreement to extend the performance period and updates wage determinations to reflect a new living wage rate of $17.95 per hour effective July 1, 2025. It also includes a deletion of 29 DCMR Chapter 25 and 77, replacing it with 29 DCMR Chapters 25 and 74, and updates the Contracting Officer's information. The legislation outlines reimbursement rates and application fees for supportive services during Option Periods Three and Four, maintaining a total not-to-exceed amount of $2,172,341.30 for both periods. The bill is designed to take effect immediately upon approval and will remain in effect for no longer than 90 days.
