B 26-0508 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Modification Nos. M0015, M0016, and M0017 to Contract No. CW100384 with Community of Hope, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2025

This bill approves three contract modifications (M0015, M0016, and M0017) to an existing agreement (CW100384) with Community of Hope, Inc., for its Permanent Supportive Housing III program. It authorizes payment of up to $2,172,341.30 for services already provided and to be provided under the modifications. The program assists chronically homeless individuals and families by providing case management, utility assistance, and financial support to help them transition into stable housing and achieve self-sufficiency. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on contract approval and payment authorization for an existing service, not creating new policy.

What changed between versions

Introduction → Enrollment · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill text was reformatted from a letter-style introduction to a formal enrolled legislative document. The substantive policy content, including funding amounts, contract modifications, and program details, remains unchanged. This appears to be a procedural conversion from draft to final enrolled version.
TECHNICAL

Document structure changed from Mayor's letter format to formal enrolled bill format with proper legislative headers and signatures.

Contract summary section was reorganized and condensed, removing detailed line-item breakdowns of option periods while maintaining the same total funding amount.

Formatting adjustments including line breaks, spacing, and signature block placement were standardized to match enrolled bill conventions.
