Renewal and Amendment of Contract with Homeless Services Network of Central Florida for Rental Assistance Program, N16-0108
Summary:

On November 16, 2015, a Contract was awarded to Homeless Services Network of Central Florida (HSN) to implement and administer the City’s rental assistance program to provide chronically homeless, low-income persons with needed assistance in their transition to permanent supportive housing. The term of the Contract was for three (3) years with three (3) additional 3-year renewal terms with a maximum annual amount of $600,000.00. The Contract was amended on April 12, 2016, to revise the eligibility criteria of the Rental Assistance Program to better serve the chronically homeless persons and implement the goals of the City’s program.

 

City Staff is now requesting approval to execute the attached amendment to enter into the first renewal of the Contract for an additional three fiscal years through September 30, 2021, with two 3-year renewals remaining.  The amendment also aligns the term of the Contract with the City’s fiscal year.  Additionally, the amendment revises the Contract to provide for funds to operate the program to be paid to HSN in advance in equal quarterly installments of $150,000.00 in lieu of monthly payments in arrears as originally provided for in the Contract. A monthly verification of the funds dispersed will be provided to the City.
