This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to modify a grant agreement with Alvis, Inc., in an amount up to $1,500,000.00, to advance the planning, design and construction of additional space to continue providing residential reentry space treatment and services.
Original grant amount $2,000,000.00 Ord. 3035-2022
Mod 1 grant amount $1,500,000.00

Ordinance 3035-2022, passed by City Council on November 14, 2022, authorized the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a grant agreement for the project. This is the second contribution of a two-year capital commitment totaling $3.5 million.
Alvis, Inc. has been turning lives around since 1967. Alvis offers comprehensive human services to meet the needs of some of our most vulnerable members of our community. They currently operate 6 residential reentry centers, four outpatient centers and one administrative office building. They are looking to expand the Alum Creek facility to construct and connect a two-story building on adjacent land.
The projected cost of the project is $25 million. Once completed, the additional facility space will enable them to increase their capacity to serve residents from 280 to 350.
