December 2, 2025

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve Modification Nos.
M0013 and M0014 to Contract No. CW100309 with The National Center for Children
and Families, Inc., and to authorize payment for the goods and services received and to
be received under the contract.

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this
resolution may be cited as the “Modification Nos. M0013 and M0014 to Contract No.
CW100309 with The National Center for Children and Families, Inc. Approval and Payment
Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025”.

Sec. 2. (a) There exists an immediate need to approve Modification Nos. M0013 and
M0014 to Contract No. CW100309 with The National Center for Children and Families, Inc. 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 July 1, 2025, by Modification No. M0013, 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 $521,220.50.
(c) Proposed Modification No. M0014 will exercise the remainder of option year 3 and
increase the not-to-exceed amount by $514,335.74, to a total not-to-exceed amount of
$1,035,556.24.
(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
necessary because the modifications will increase the value of the contract to more than $1
million during a 12-month period.
(e) Council approval is necessary to allow the continuation of these vital services.
Without this approval, The National Center for Children and Families, Inc. cannot be paid for
