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, 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 grant amounts and the reasons for each request, with a total of six grants listed. Notably, all requests are for the establishment of new programs or initiatives, and none are related to COVID-19. The Mayor's office has made staff available for any inquiries regarding these modifications, emphasizing the importance of these grants in supporting the District's educational and health services.
