Request that the County Judge execute an amendment to an agreement with Houston Area Community Services, Inc. dba Avenue360 Health & Wellness to add Section V.L. Advance Payments and replace Section XVIII.F Centralized Patient Care Data Management System for rental assistance and housing support for the Public Health Services/Ryan White Grant Administration for the period of March 1, 2026 - February 28, 2027, with no increase in the total contract amount (250001), Justification for 0% MWBE Participation Goal: 0% - Non-Divisible.

Avenue360 Health & Wellness provides rental help and housing support to people living with HIV who qualify for Ryan White services. Updating this contract keeps those services funded and running smoothly through February 28, 2027. The changes fix how advance payments work and how patient data is managed — both behind-the-scenes improvements that help the program run better.

This is a contract amendment — a formal update to an existing agreement between Harris County and Avenue360 Health & Wellness (also known as Houston Area Community Services, Inc.) Two sections are being changed: one about advance payments, and one about a centralized patient data system. The total contract amount stays the same at $250,001.

The updated period runs from March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027.
