Modification Nos. M0013 and M0014 to Contract No. CW100338 with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2025

This bill approves two contract modifications (M0013 and M0014) to an existing agreement with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington, Inc., for permanent supportive housing services. It authorizes payment of up to $1,185,376.98 for case management, utility assistance, and financial aid provided to homeless individuals and families under the District’s Permanent Supportive Housing III program. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on approving the contract extension and payment authorization without creating new policy. It requires emergency Council approval to expedite funding for ongoing services.

What changed between versions

Introduction → Enrollment · 4 edits
MODERATE
The document transitions from a Mayor's letter introducing an emergency bill to the final enrolled version of the legislation itself. The substantive policy content remains largely the same, but the format changes from a cover letter to the official enrolled bill text. This is a procedural change reflecting the bill's progression through the legislative process.
TECHNICAL

Removed the Mayor's cover letter, signature block, and contact information that accompanied the bill introduction.

Added enrolled bill formatting elements including 'ENROLLED ORIGINAL' headers and signature lines for the Council Chairman and Mayor.

Removed the detailed Council Contract Summary section that provided background information about the contract's history, option periods, and funding breakdown.

Changed the bill title formatting from the introduction letter style to the formal enrolled bill format with proper spacing and punctuation.
