Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47-363(a) and the
Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, P.L. 118-14, approved March 23, 2024, the Office
of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor’s request to reprogram Fiscal Year
2024 Federal Payment funds budget authority in the amount of $1,192,581 within the Department
of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). Budget authority is needed to support
assistance payments in the Housing Counseling program.
This action will reprogram budget authority from DHCD’s Agency Financial Operations, and
Residential and Community Service divisions, Account Groups 701100C (Continuing Full Time),
701200C ( Continuing Full Time – Others), 701400C (Fringe Benefits – Current Personnel), and
713100C (Other Services and Charges), to the Residential and Community Services division,
Account Group 714100C (Government Subsidies and Grants). Budget authority is available due
to vacancy savings and cost savings in employee training.

Why are the funds available?
The original spending plan included more budget for administrative costs than will actually be used,
primarily in personnel services. The personnel services in Portfolio and Asset Management to administer
the program are not required as initially budgeted, due to earlier than anticipated spend down of
assistance funds.
What hardship will the District faceifthe action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal year? The
District will not beable to continue to fund benefit payments anticipated as part of program close out.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result ofthe action, and the impact
on the program or agency?
‘No programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result ofthe action.
