Heights. Following the discontinuation of the project, the funds became available to support other
priorities of the University.

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

SUBJECT: FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $3,444,096 of Capital funds budget
authority within the University of the District of Columbia (GF0)
The University of the District of Columbia (GF0) is requesting a budget reprograming of $3,444,096.00
in Capital funds budget authority within the agency to support swing space rent payments.
Why are the funds needed?
The funds are needed to continue supporting rent payments at the university’s swing space locations
at Old Congress Heights and 4225 Connecticut Avenue NW.
Does this reprogramming restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No.
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.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
See attached attributes sheet for details.

Why are the funds available?
The funds were allotted for the establishment of the Amazon Web Services Training Campus at the
Community College Workforce Development Center at Old Congress Heights; however, the project
was discontinued, making the funds available for lease payments.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal year?
The university will be in default of the current lease agreement, potentially leading to eviction, or
make payments using operating funds, creating substantive operating budget pressures.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and the
impact on the program or agency?
No negative impact is anticipated as a result of this reprogramming as the training campus project
was discontinued.
Should you have any questions, please contact Cassandra Johnson, Budget and Real Estate
Administrator, at 202-834-5890 or at cparker@udc.edu or Brian Connell, Budget Officer, at 202-794-
4346 or at brian.connell@udc.edu.
