B 26-0513 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Modification Nos. M0011 and M0012 to Contract No. CW100388 with Friendship Place Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2025

This bill approves two contract modifications (M0011 and M0012) for Friendship Place to continue providing permanent supportive housing services under an existing agreement. It authorizes payment of $1,865,355.10 for case management, utility assistance, and financial aid to chronically homeless individuals and families in Washington, D.C. The modifications extend the third option year of the contract (July 2025-June 2026), allowing Friendship Place to maintain services that help residents transition from homelessness to stable housing. This is a procedural payment authorization for an ongoing program, not a new policy.

MINOR

This document shows the transition of a legislative bill from its introduction stage to its enrolled (final) version. The primary changes involve formatting adjustments and the addition of official signatures and enrollment markings required for the bill to become law. The substantive content of the bill, which authorizes emergency contract modifications with Friendship Place for Permanent Supportive Housing services, remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

Added official enrollment markings including 'ENROLLED ORIGINAL' headers, signature lines for the Chairman and Mayor, and page numbering consistent with enrolled legislation format.

Removed the Mayor's cover letter and introductory text that accompanied the bill during introduction, as these are not part of the final enrolled legislation.

Adjusted formatting of contract summary sections and standardized text references throughout the document to match enrolled legislative formatting requirements.
