The resolution presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval for emergency modifications to the existing Human Care Agreement with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington, Inc. Specifically, it addresses Modification Nos. M0013 and M0014, which are intended to provide case management services for the Permanent Supportive Housing III program. The total amount for these modifications is capped at $1,185,376.98, which includes the exercise of option year three of the contract. The urgency of this resolution is underscored by the need to authorize payment for services rendered and to ensure the continuation of essential support services.

The resolution outlines that Modification No. M0013 was previously enacted to cover part of the option year three services, while Modification No. M0014 will complete this option and increase the contract's total value beyond $1 million, necessitating Council approval under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. The resolution emphasizes the critical nature of these services and the immediate need for approval to facilitate timely payments to Catholic Charities for their ongoing work. The Council is urged to act swiftly on this matter, with the resolution set to take effect immediately upon adoption.
