The North Valley Caring Services (NVCS), a non-profit organization providing food, housing, and economic insecurity services to over 300,000 people annually, is losing its current leased space in North Hills. To ensure continuity of their critical services, the City Council has instructed the Economic and Workforce Development Department (EWDD) to negotiate a new month-to-month non-profit lease with NVCS. This lease is for the use of three City-owned suites (10807, 10801, and 13269) located at 13263 Van Nuys Boulevard, a property recently acquired by the City for future mixed-use development. NVCS intends to use these suites for the storage and preparation of food pantry boxes for off-site distribution. The Council also found that competitive bidding for this contract would be impractical due to the unique resources and services provided by NVCS.
