Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the reprogramming of $1,150,161 in FY 2025 Capital Funds from the Department of Public Works, the Department of General Services, and the Commission on Arts and Humanities to the Department of Employment Services (DOES). This reallocation is necessary to cover unexpected costs associated with building security upgrades at the DOES headquarters, ensuring the safety of both staff and clients. The funds will be redirected from projects that have not fully utilized their budgets, allowing for immediate enhancements without delaying other services.

The Office of the Chief Financial Officer has reviewed the request and confirmed that this reprogramming will not negatively impact the budgets of the involved agencies or the District's overall financial plan. The allocated funds will specifically address security improvements at the DOES headquarters located at 4058 Minnesota Ave, NE, Washington, DC, which is considered a high priority for maintaining a secure environment for employees and residents accessing services.
