How it got here
The legislation originated from a need to extend and increase funding for emergency financial services provided by Positive Resource Center to low-income individuals with HIV/AIDS in San Francisco.
DPH issued RFP 44-2017 to solicit proposals for HIV emergency financial assistance providers, which led to the selection of Positive Resource Center as the only qualified proposer.
DPH entered into an agreement with Positive Resource Center for emergency financial services, with a term of four years and a not-to-exceed amount of $4,404,297.
The agreement was amended to increase the funding by $1,314,693, raising the total to $5,718,990.
The agreement was further amended to extend the term by four years and increase the funding to $9,993,622.
DPH proposed a third amendment to extend the agreement by two years and increase the funding by $5,365,891, bringing the total to $15,359,513.
The Board of Supervisors adopted the resolution approving Amendment No. 3 to the agreement with Positive Resource Center.
