Summary

The committee approved a staff request to move a funded co‑housing project from a constrained North Patterson lot to a wider site behind the Enterprise Center (owned by SG Atkins), adjusted services from five mothers with children to generally four, and extended the contract term by six months.

Staff presented a request to change the site and services for an SG Atkins‑funded co‑housing project originally awarded in 2023. The proposed new location is behind the Enterprise Center — land owned by the nonprofit — and is larger than the original 0.17‑acre lot on North Patterson. Staff said the wider site can better accommodate the project and that moving to a parcel owned by SG Atkins simplifies site control.

The service model will change slightly: the project was originally planned for five mothers with children and will now generally serve four. Staff also requested a six‑month contract extension (the contract would move from a December 31 expiration to June 30 in the following year) to allow the project to relocate and complete necessary steps.

The committee moved and seconded the item and approved the site change, service modification and contract extension by voice vote.
