LSS/Faith Mission submitted a proposal during an RFP process completed in August 2019 (RFQ012772).  This sub award is for the third year of the five year contract period.

 

This legislation represents appropriation for a part of the HOPWA portion of the 2022 Action Plan, per Ordinance 2800-2021.

 

Emergency action is requested to allow for uninterrupted services.
