The contract is set to run from November 15, 2025, to September 30, 2026, and includes provisions for monthly compensation based on specified costs. The Georgia Avenue Family Support Collaborative, which has over fifteen years of experience providing similar services, was selected through a competitive process.

Furthermore, it outlines various provisions related to employment practices, insurance requirements, and non-discrimination clauses, aiming to enhance accountability and promote fair practices within the District's contracting framework.
