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 funding for different programs. Notable grants include $28,262.42 for the Child and Family Services Agency, $25,000 for the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Education, and $395,752 for the State Superintendent of Education's Child Care Development Block Grant. Each grant is designated for establishment purposes and does not include any full-time equivalent (FTE) requests.
The Mayor's letter emphasizes the importance of these budget modifications and offers assistance for any inquiries from the Council. The modifications are intended to enhance the services provided by the respective agencies without any COVID-related funding implications. The letter also provides contact information for Jason Kim, the Deputy Budget Director, to facilitate further discussions regarding the proposed changes.
