Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes amending the contract with the Tenant Resource Center by increasing the contracted amount by $40,000, funded by a special allocation from the 2019-2020 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), for mediation services. The special allocation from the HUD ESG funds was originally awarded to Catholic Charities for a rapid resolution program. This program will no longer be pursued by Catholic Charities and the $40,000 special allocation will now be transferred to the Tenant Resource Center. No additional City appropriation is required.
