The Honorable Phil Mendelson
Chairman
Council of the District of Columbia
John A. Wilson Building
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 504
Washington, DC 20004-3001
Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47- 363(a) and the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, approved February 3, 2026, Pub. Law No. 119- 75, the
Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor’s request to reprogram
Fiscal Year 2026 Local funds budget authority in the amount of $160,000 within the Office of
Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (ONSE) . The funds are needed to support a public
awareness campaign for ONSE’s community violence intervention work throughout the District.
This reprogramming is below the $500,000 threshold amount requiring approval by Council.
However, another reprogramming from ONSE has already been approved, and this reprogramming
would result in a cumulative change to the budget of ONSE of more than $500,000.
This action will reprogram budget authority within ONSE’s Neighborhood Safety and Engagement
program, from Account Group 714100C (Government Subsidies & Grants) to Account Group
713100C (Other Services & Charges). Funds are available based on the original appropriation but
require reprogramming to align agency spending plans.
The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman
FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $160,000 of Local Funds Budget Authority within the Office of Neighborhood

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,
Glen M. Lee

FY 2026 Reprogramming of Funds Request for $160,000.00 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 $160,000.00 in Local Funds budget authority within the non-personnel
Services.
Why are the funds needed?
To launch a Public Service Announcement campaign with WMATA to strengthen public awareness
and engagement around community violence intervention work throughout Washington, DC.
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 currently budgeted in the Grants & Gratuities account and must be reprogrammed to
the Professional Services account to ensure they align with the correct budget category for this
program.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
ONSE will not be able to launch a PSA campaign with WMATA to increase public awareness of the
community intervention work.
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?
No
