The bill submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser outlines the proposed modifications to the FY 2025 Grant Budget, as mandated by the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025. The modifications include several federal grant requests from various agencies, such as the Child and Family Services Agency, the Department of Aging and Community Living, and the Board of Elections. Each grant request is aimed at establishing new funding for specific programs, with amounts ranging from $20,200 to over $1 million, and none of the requests are related to COVID-19.

The proposed budget modifications are intended to enhance the services provided by these agencies, including adoption and legal guardianship payments, protective services for adults, and election security measures. The Mayor has made her staff available for any inquiries regarding these modifications, encouraging the Council to reach out for further clarification.
