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 and private grants aimed at various agencies, such as the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, the Department of Aging and Community Living, and the District of Columbia Public Schools. Notable grants include funding for resilient infrastructure, protective services for adults, election security, and educational programs, with total amounts ranging from approximately $10,000 to over $1.3 million.
The proposed budget modifications are intended to establish new grants rather than amend existing ones, as indicated by the term "Establishment" next to each grant listed. The Mayor's office has made staff available for any inquiries regarding these modifications, emphasizing the importance of collaboration with the Council of the District of Columbia to ensure the effective allocation of these funds.
