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 various federal grants aimed at establishing funding for different programs across multiple agencies. Notable grants include $139,100 for the Metropolitan Police Department's COPS LEMHWA program, $758,652 for the Office of the Mayor's AmeriCorps State Formula Grant, and $955,905 for the Department of Behavioral Health's Mental Health Block Grant Funds, among others.
Each grant is categorized as an establishment request, indicating that these funds are intended to initiate or support specific programs rather than ongoing operations. The modifications do not appear to include any deletions or significant changes to existing law, focusing instead on the introduction of new funding opportunities to enhance services and support within the District of Columbia. The Mayor's office has made staff available for any inquiries regarding these proposed budget modifications.
