Fiscal Note
Up to $6,000 in City funds was previously authorized by the Common Council for a contract with Porchlight, Inc. to provide coordination and implementation services related to a local 2015 “Homeless Registry Week” (RES-15-00220, 3/18/2015, Legistar ID # 37309).
This Resolution only authorizes a change in the contract agency that will receive the funds to provide these Registry Week services, from Porchlight, Inc. to the Tenant Resource Center. As no additional funds are being requested, there is no further impact on the local levy.
Title
Authorizing a change in contract agency from Porchlight, Inc. to Tenant Resource Center as provider of services related to the coordination and implementation of 2015 “Homeless Registry Week” efforts; and to amend existing 2015 contracts with the two agencies as appropriate.

Porchlight, Inc. was designated as the organization to receive the funds and provide these Registry Week services, and an existing 2015 contract with the agency was amended as appropriate to incorporate the additional services and increase in funding.

A Tenant Resource Center employee will be hired for the coordinator position, and TRC and the City’s Community Development Division will share responsibility for supervision of the position.
