The bill submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser outlines the FY 2025 Grant Budget Modifications as required by the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025. The modifications include several federal grant requests from various agencies, such as the Office of the State Superintendent of Education, which seeks funding for preschool establishment, child care development, and state assessments, totaling over $8 million. Other agencies, including the Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants, the Department of Health, and the Office of the Attorney General, are also requesting funds for various programs aimed at improving services and support within the District.

The proposed budget modifications detail specific amounts and the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) positions associated with each grant request. Notably, all requests are categorized as "Establishment" grants, indicating the funds are intended to initiate new programs rather than support ongoing operations. The Mayor's office has made staff available for any inquiries regarding these modifications, emphasizing the importance of these grants in enhancing the District's services and programs.
