Report
Summary
In July 2017, the Human Services Department executed a contract with UMOM New Day Centers as a result of a competitive process to serve 16 families with children and 130 single women experiencing homelessness each night at shelter facilities owned and operated by UMOM New Day Centers. These services had previously been provided by a contractor at the City-owned Watkins facility. The purpose of the change was to improve services and relieve the City of the costly repairs and maintenance for the Watkins building.
The Watkins facility was closed in July 2017 following the transfer of services to UMOM New Day Centers facilities.
Contract Term
The term of the contract is seven years, which began on July 1, 2017, and will end on June 30, 2024.
Financial Impact
General and grant funds to support this increase are available in the Human Services Department budget.
