BACKGROUND
Background
Per the Guilford County Budget Ordinance, the Board of County Commissioners is required to approve both contract amounts above $200,000, as well contracts requiring amendments over the course of the fiscal year that cumulatively surpass $200,000. Due to recent influxes in foster care children served (43 children added into care since beginning of FY26), HHS-DSS staff have determined one (1) current contract (term July 1, 2024 - September 30, 2025) noted below that needs BOCC approval. Sufficient funding exists within the FY26 budget to complete the needed amendment.
Hope Inside Inc. - Total contract with necessary addendum $274,000
-Original Amount = $60,000
-Amendment 1 = $102,000; for total contract amount of $162,000
-Amendment 2 = $35,643; for total contract amount of $197,643
-Amendment 3 = $75,825; for total contract amount of $273,468
