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 and private grants aimed at establishing new programs and services across multiple agencies, such as the Department of Employment Services, the Office of the State Superintendent of Education, and the Department of Parks and Recreation. Notable grants include funding for employment services, child nutrition technology innovation, and recreation center improvements, with specific budget amounts allocated for each initiative.

The proposed budget modifications reflect a total of approximately $3.5 million in new funding across different sectors, with no full-time equivalent (FTE) positions requested for these grants. The Mayor's office has made provisions for the Council to address any questions regarding these modifications, indicating a collaborative approach to budget management and transparency in the allocation of funds.
