Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested the reprogramming of $1,022,263 in Fiscal Year 2026 Local Funds for the Department of Aging and Community Living (DACL) to address personnel funding shortfalls due to Union Pay increases and to cover mandatory technology costs related to the agency's Artificial Intelligence Strategic Plan. The reallocation will shift funds from various non-personnel services to personnel services and technology expenses, ensuring that DACL can meet its personnel obligations and support its strategic initiatives effectively. The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the request and confirmed that it will not negatively impact DACL's budget or the District's financial plan.

The resolution provides a detailed breakdown of the financial allocations for both personnel and non-personnel services within DACL. The total budget for personnel services is $5,986,272.19, with significant expenditures on full-time positions and health benefits, leaving a remaining budget of $1,356,408.14. Non-personnel services total $37,691.39, primarily for IT supplies and communication services, with a remaining budget of $35,086.29. Overall, the comprehensive financial management efforts within the agency reflect a grand total of $25,544,150.19 for both personnel and non-personnel services, underscoring the importance of this reprogramming initiative.
