The bill submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser outlines the proposed modifications to the FY 2025 Grant Budget for the District of Columbia, as mandated by the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025. The modifications include several federal grant requests aimed at establishing new funding for various agencies, such as the Child and Family Services Agency, the Department of Aging and Community Living, and the Board of Elections. Notably, the budget modifications include specific amounts for grants related to adoption and legal guardianship, adult protective services, and election security, totaling over $1.1 million.
The proposed budget modifications are intended to enhance the operational capabilities of the respective agencies without increasing the full-time equivalent (FTE) staffing levels. The Mayor's office has made it clear that they are available for discussions regarding these modifications and have provided contact information for further inquiries. The modifications do not appear to include any deletions or changes to existing legal language, focusing solely on the establishment of new grant funding.
