Modification Nos. M0005, M0006 and M0007 to Contract No. CW119500 with Community of Hope, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2026

This bill authorizes the District of Columbia to approve three modifications to an existing contract with Community of Hope, Inc., a nonprofit organization that provides short-term family housing. The legislation increases the maximum allowable spending for the contract's first option year by over $1.4 million to cover additional goods and services already provided or expected. By raising the contract limit to approximately $4.26 million, the bill ensures that the organization can continue its vital housing services without payment delays. It also grants immediate approval for payments related to these modifications, bypassing standard legislative procedures due to the declared emergency.
