The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve two modifications (M0011 and M0012) to Contract No. CW100388 with Friendship Place, which provides case management services for the Permanent Supportive Housing III program. The first modification, M0011, was executed on June 25, 2025, allowing for a partial option of the contract for the period from July 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, with a not-to-exceed amount of $862,441.76. The second modification, M0012, aims to exercise the remainder of option year 3 and increase the total contract amount to $1,865,355.10, necessitating Council approval due to the increase exceeding $1 million within a 12-month period.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of approving these modifications to ensure the continuation of essential services provided by Friendship Place. Without this approval, the organization 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.
