The bill submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser outlines the FY 2026 Grant Budget Modifications for the District of Columbia, which includes the establishment of two federal grant programs. The first grant is from the Department of Aging and Community Living for the State Health Insurance Program (SHIP), with a budget request of $93,470.56. The second grant is from the Department of Health for the Behavioral Risk Factor Survey, with a budget request of $202,868.94. Both grants are aimed at enhancing health services and do not include any requests for full-time equivalent (FTE) positions.

The Mayor's letter emphasizes the importance of these budget modifications and invites the Council to reach out for any clarifications or discussions regarding the proposed changes. The modifications are part of the ongoing efforts to secure federal funding to support health initiatives within the District, ensuring that necessary resources are allocated effectively.
