The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve two modifications (M0013 and M0014) to Contract No. CW100338 with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington, Inc. These modifications are essential for the continuation of the Permanent Supportive Housing III program case management services. Modification No. M0013, executed on June 25, 2025, partially exercised option year 3 of the contract for the period from July 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, with a not-to-exceed amount of $561,364.26. Proposed Modification No. M0014 will exercise the remainder of option year 3 and increase the total contract amount to $1,185,376.98.

The resolution emphasizes that Council approval is necessary due to the increase in the contract value exceeding $1 million within a 12-month period, as mandated by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. Without this approval, Catholic Charities cannot be compensated for the services rendered beyond the $1 million threshold for the period 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.
