The City and the County are collectively referred to as the “Parties”. Amendment No. 1 continues and strengthens the Parties’ collaboration to reduce homelessness in Maricopa County through the County’s Hand in Hand program by expanding homelessness outreach services in West Valley communities and improving access for individuals and families in remote areas. The purpose of this Agreement is to establish a collaboration between the Parties focused on a strategy to reduce homelessness with an added focus in wash and canal areas (e.g. Agua Fria, Skunk Creek, and New River). The Cities, including but not limited to Goodyear, Peoria, Surprise, Sun City, Sun City West, Waddell, Wittmann, Town of Youngtown and City of El Mirage (Subregional Partners) are committed to providing outreach teams with needed resources to assist individuals who are unsheltered to transition into permanent housing.

Revise Paragraph 10.0 (Notices) by updating the County point of contact. B. 3. Revise and replace Paragraph 15.0 (Insurance) with required language. This is a non-recurring, non-competitive Agreement requiring no cash match, or in-kind contribution and creates no County obligations beyond the term. The Human Services Department provisional indirect rate for FY2027, approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is 24% for salaries and employee-related expenses. Agreement funds total $20,000, of which $0 will be allocated for salaries and ERE; therefore, indirect costs are $0 and not subject to indirect cost recovery.
