Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve the attached contract amendment to the FY19-20 annual service contract between Durham County and Urban Ministries of Durham.
As part of the FY19-20 budget process, Durham County received the attached request for $58,000 from Urban Ministries of Durham (UMD). The requested contribution was for a number of upgrades to the UMD’s café space which would enable UMD to serve its clients more efficiently and in a more pleasant, functional space. The Commissioners reserved this amount of funding in the FY19-20 budget and indicated they would award the funding upon satisfactory completion of conversations relating to additional day services needed now and in the future by those experiencing or at risk of homeless in Durham. Those conversations are ongoing, but Commissioners have indicated a willingness to release the funding.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: A well-functioning homeless system of care is critical to Goals 1, 2, and 3 of the Durham County Strategic Plan
Resource Persons: Drew Cummings, Chief of Staff
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the Board approve the attached contract amendment to the FY19-20 annual service contract between Durham County and Urban Ministries of Durham.
