Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47-363(a) and the Full-
Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, approved March 15, 2025, Pub. L.

agency’s budget with projected spending for the Cure the Street Initiative.
This action will reprogram budget authority within ONSE’s Neighborhood Safety and Engagement
program, from Account Group 714100C (Government Subsidies and Grants) to Account Groups
701100C ( Continuing Full Time ), 701400C (Fringe Benefits – Current Personnel), 713100C
(Other Services and Charges) and 714100C (Government Subsidies and Grants) . Funds are
available due to the original appropriation but require reprogramming to align with revised
spending plans.

The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on ONSE’s budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to
this reprogramming request.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: FY 2026 Reprogramming of Funds Request for $5,400,000.00 of Local Funds budget
authority within the Non - Personnel Services of the Office of Neighborhood Safety and
Engagement (ONSE)
The Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (ONSE) is requesting a budget
reprogramming of $5,400,000.00 in Local Funds budget authority within the agency.
Why are the funds needed?
The funds are needed to align the budget with projected PS and NPS spending for the Cure the
Streets Program.
Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
See the attached worksheet for details.
Why are the funds available?
The funds are budgeted in grants and gratuities and need to be reprogrammed to professional
services and personnel services to align the budget with projected spending within the program.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fisc l
year?
ONSE will not be able to provide much needed community-based services for non-violence
activities.
100 42nd Street, NE I Washington, DC, 20019 I Office: 202.807.0440
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and
the impact on the program or agency?
None
Does this reprogramming establish new programs or change allocations specifically denied,
limited, or increased by the Council in the budget act, the accompanying budget report, or mark-
up sheets?
Yes. For transparency and accountability, the funds will be assigned to a “project” for better
accounting and tracking expenditures related to the Cure the Streets Program, following council
intent.
