The bill submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser outlines the FY 2026 Grant Budget Modifications for the District of Columbia, which includes various federal and private grants aimed at establishing new programs and funding initiatives. The modifications detail specific grants from different agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants, and the Department of Health, among others. Each entry specifies the grant type, name, purpose, budget amount, and whether it is COVID-related, with a total of over $20 million allocated across multiple projects.
The proposed modifications include the establishment of several significant grants, such as the Storm Loan Fund Project with a budget of $12,013,846, and various health-related initiatives totaling over $5 million. The bill emphasizes the importance of these grants in supporting the District's programs and services, particularly in areas like public health, education, and emergency management. The Mayor's office has made staff available for any inquiries regarding the budget modifications, indicating a commitment to transparency and collaboration with the Council of the District of Columbia.
