The Housing and Community Development Department (HCDD) recommends approval of a second contract amendment to extend a contract with The Men’s Center Inc. dba Recenter, a sober living environment, to February 28, 2019. This extension will also provide funding up to $100,000 in CDBG funds for case management to a minimum of 50 current emergency and transitional housing residents who are recovering from alcohol and/or substance abuse.
Case management consists of services that will help these individuals gain access to needed medical, social, and educational services. This includes direct assistance in obtaining these services, coordination of care, case oversight, and linkage to other appropriate services. The City provides 100% of the budget for this program.

HCDD conducted a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Public Services contracts for fiscal year 2016 with a one-year renewal option for fiscal year 2017. Recenter was one of the agencies selected. This second contract amendment will extend the contract period through February 28, 2019. This is the first public services contract the City of Houston has awarded to Recenter.
