The "Modification Nos. M0005, M0006 and M0007 to Contract No. CW119504 with CORE DC, LLC Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2026" is an emergency bill that seeks to approve modifications to an existing contract with CORE DC, LLC for Short-Term Family Housing services. The bill authorizes an increase in the not-to-exceed amount for option year one of the contract to $1,731,513.72, which is essential for providing additional funding for overflow shelter services for unhoused families. This increase is necessary to address the rising demand for shelter beds and to ensure the continuity of services amid budget constraints in other housing programs.

The legislation also includes specific administrative changes, such as the deletion of certain sections in the Price Schedule, including Section B.3.2 and Section B.3.6, which are replaced with updated figures reflecting the new funding amounts. Additionally, the Contracting Officer's information is updated, replacing Brenda Allen with Rachel Conway. The total not-to-exceed amount for the first option period is raised by $865,756.86, bringing it to $3,799,729.90, while the estimated grand total for the entire contract is updated to $13,945,837.84. All other terms and conditions of the original contract remain unchanged, supporting the District's ongoing efforts to enhance services for vulnerable populations.
