The bill submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser outlines the proposed modifications to the FY 2026 Grant Budget for the District of Columbia. It includes the establishment of three federal grants: the SSBCI Federal Grant from the Department of Small and Local Business Development, the Preservation Grant from the Office of Planning, and the Data to Action grant from the Department of Health. The total budget request for these grants amounts to $1,362,448.10, with no full-time equivalent (FTE) positions requested for the SSBCI and Data to Action grants, while the Preservation Grant requests four FTEs.

The Mayor's letter emphasizes the importance of these budget modifications and invites the Council to reach out with any questions. The proposed grants aim to support various initiatives, including small business development, historic preservation, and health data management, reflecting the administration's commitment to enhancing services and resources in the District.
