This bill approves six contract modifications (M0008-M0013) to an existing agreement with My Sister’s Place, Inc. for case management services under the District’s Family Rehousing and Stabilization Program (FRSP). It authorizes $1,694,810.52 in payments for services provided during the second option year of the contract, continuing support for homeless families in Washington, D.C.
