received under the contract.

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this
resolution may be cited as the “Modification Nos. M0014 and M0015 to Contract No.

M0015 to Contract No. CW100317 with Transitional Housing Corporation dba Housing Up to
provide Permanent Supportive Housing III program case management services, and to authorize
payment for the goods and services received and to be received under the contract.
(b) On June 25, 2025, by Modification No. M0014, the Office of Contracting and
Procurement, on behalf of the Department of Human Services, exercised a partial option of
option year 3 of the contract, for the period of July 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, in the
not-to-exceed amount of $813,211.80.
(c) Proposed Modification No. M0015 will exercise the remainder of option year 3 and
increase the not-to-exceed amount by $856,557.92, to a total not-to-exceed amount of
$1,669,769.72.
(d) Under section 451(b)(1) of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, approved
December 24, 1973 (87 Stat. 803; D.C. Official Code § 1-204.51(b)(1)), Council approval is
