RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENT TO THE
FY 2025/26 ASSET CONTRACT WITH THE SALVATION ARMY
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, starting in FY 2024/25, The Salvation Army (TSA) has been providing
emergency shelter through managing a hotel voucher program at a significantly larger
scale than has been previously provided by the organization to meet community needs;
and,
WHEREAS, as of August 20, 2025, $53,820.19 (approximately 45% of the annual
allocation) of City funding has been expended and $66,179.81 remains. Due to the year -
round need for sheltering services, staff was concerned about the rate of expenditures,
and, therefore, in early August requested TSA pause the hotel voucher program until the
City and TSA develop and agree on a plan going forward; and,
WHEREAS, staff had engaged in several conversations with TSA in August and
developed an amendment outlining additional requirements for the emergency shelter
hotel voucher services. The contract amendment does not add any additional funds to
any of the ASSET services TSA provides; however, it includes Exhibit B, which provides
additional requirements for TSA's emergency shelter services to be reimbursable by the
City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the amendment to the FY 2025/26 ASSET contract with The Salvation Army is
hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 9th day of September, 2025.
