Jackson set to OK $25,000 contract with Jackson Hole United

Jackson Town Council is set to vote Monday on a Social Service Contract with Jackson Hole United that would pay up to $25,000 for community support services, with the contract running from Oct. 1, 2026 through Oct. 31, 2027. The agreement is on the consent calendar, so it will likely pass quickly unless a councilor pulls it for discussion or a resident asks questions during the public-comment window on consent items. Details are in the meeting agenda, which lists the contract for action Monday night Special Town Council Meeting Agenda.

As a parent, what I want to hear in the room is how this contract translates into fewer families falling through cracks, and what Jackson Hole United will report back so the Town can tell if the help is reaching people who live and work here. The draft contract says the Town will pay a “total amount not to exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00)” during the contract period, and that “Full payment shall be made upon submission of a single bill or invoice” for that amount (see the contract language in the packet).
