Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes the Mayor and City Clerk to execute amendments to Youth Homeless Demonstration Program (YHDP)-funded contracts with Urban Triage, Inc. and LGBT Outreach, Inc. on behalf of Madison/Dane County Continuum of Care (CoC).
Since 2023-2024 contract execution, one contracting agency ended its contract due to capacity issues. Additionally, the CoC Youth Action Board and community partners proposed changes to the Transitional Housing program model. Due to these two changes, approximately $830,000 of YHDP funds remain uncommitted.
The Youth Action Board and the Housing Services Consortium Board of Directors approved a plan to reallocate underspent funds:
+ Amend Urban Triage, Inc. 2024 contract from $517,356 to $562,356 for Transitional Housing/Rapid Re-housing service
+ Amend LGBT Outreach, Inc. 2024 contract from $144,880 to $314,880 for System Navigation services and creation of a Youth Drop-In Center
+ Issue a Request for Proposals in 2024 to allocate the remaining $625,000 in Transitional Housing/Rapid Re-housing funds
Further, the proposed resolution authorizes the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an amendment to the grant agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to extend the performance period for the grant from November 30, 2024 to February 28, 2025. No additional City appropriation required.
