[{"title": "Mayor Bowser Presents FY27 Budget That Builds on More Than a Decade of Growth and Creates New Opportunities for DC Residents and Businesses", "time": null, "end_time": null, "summary": "Mayor Bowser Presents FY27 Budget That Builds on More Than a Decade of Growth and Creates New Opportunities for DC Residents and Businesses Friday, Apr 10, 2026 tonyea.tharpe Fri, 04/10/2026 - 10:26am (Washington, DC) – Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser presented her Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27) Budget, Grow DC. The FY27 budget prioritizes enhanced funding for education and public safety, preserving core city services, protecting robust health care for DC residents, and growing the District’s economy. “For everything we love about our city—our great schools, parks, transportation, arts, culture, and restaurants—they require us to have robust revenues to make robust investments,” said Mayor Bowser. “For that, we need a pro-growth budget, which we are delivering with Grow DC.” Education and Childcare Years of investing in education have delivered results our city can be proud of—our highest ever graduation rate, continued enrollment gains, and great public schools in all eight wards. The Grow DC budget increases the Uniform Per Student Funding Formula by 2.55%, bringing the foundation level to $15,455 per student, and supports nearly 100,000 public and public charter students. $2.4M to expand access to the Advanced Technical Centers, which give high school students hands-on career and technical education. $3M to expand high-impact tutoring to help more students recover and grow academically. Continues support for the DC Futures Program to ensure residents pursuing degrees at the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) can finish their programs. And the six-year capital plan includes more than $2 billion to modernize public school facilities, upgrade technology, and support improvements at UDC, including funds necessary to unlock its first-ever student housing through a public-private partnership. The District continues to offer the nation’s most expansive childcare support system, including paid family leave, universal free Pre-K, and a robust childcare subsidy program that pays childcare providers at a higher rate than any other state in the country. The FY27 budget focuses on programs that provide affordability and access for families, including full funding for: Universal Pre-K ($266M); Childcare Subsidy ($114M); PKEEP ($19M); and Healthcare for childcare workers ($12M). Public Safety DC is making historic progress in driving down crime citywide. The Grow DC budget builds on this momentum by ensuring the Metropolitan Police Department has the resources to hire, recruit, and retain officers, while also supporting full funding for the Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department, Office of Unified Communications, Department of Corrections, Department of Forensic Sciences, and other core agencies in our public safety ecosystem. The six-year capital plan includes more than $500M to modernize public safety facilities, purchase new fire trucks and ambulances, replace aging and outdated equipment, increase housing capacity at our juvenile justice facilities, and upgrade critical communications and public safety technology so first responders have the tools they need to help keep us safe. $350M over six years to keep our fire trucks and ambulances modern and functional; $46M to improve youth rehabilitation facilities, including new housing units to expand capacity; $27M to build a new fire station as part of the RFK campus redevelopment; and $75M to support a public-private partnership to build a new DC Jail. Core City Services The Grow DC budget maintains strong funding for the Department of Parks and Recreation, DC Public Library, Department of Public Works, District Department of Transportation, Department of Energy and Environment, and Department of Motor Vehicles to ensure reliable core public services for residents and businesses. $4.5M to continue DPW’s Clean Corridors initiative; $61M over six years for IT and cybersecurity upgrades within DC Government; $121M to create a new home for the DC Archives; $743M for DC’s share of operating costs for the regional Metro system; and Investments to support the development of digital drivers’ licenses, which will let residents have secure, electronic versions of their drivers’ licenses stored in their digital wallets. Major capital investments across the city will modernize recreation centers and public libraries, and fund planning and design work on the 125-acre Kenilworth Park North, which could lead to the creation of a state-of-the-art destination park in Ward 7. $900M to improve major bridges and continue maintenance of roads, sidewalks, and alleys; and $12M to keep Capital Bikeshare stations and bikes in a state of good repair; and $102M for multiuse trails, including the Anacostia River Trail, Metropolitan Branch Trail, and other trail corridors throughout the District. Health Care and Human Services Nearly 40% of DC residents depend on our Medicaid, Basic Health Plan, or Alliance programs. The Grow DC budget maintains comprehensive coverage while also responding to rising health care costs. $9M to add new dental and vision benefits for Basic Health Plan and Alliance enrollees; $2M to fund new chip cards for SNAP participants to help prevent benefits theft; $25M to acquire a third bridge housing site and $3M to support ongoing operations; and Supports seniors by protecting programs and services at the Department of Aging and Community Living and maintains investment in a new Senior Wellness Center in Ward 2. Economic Resilience and Inclusive Opportunity To keep DC competitive and ensure the city’s strong economic future, the Grow DC budget reduces the cost of doing business by lowering business-related fees, supports major redevelopment projects through targeted incentives, and continues to invest in grant programs to help our small businesses thrive. $110M for development at Hill East, Fletcher Johnson, and Poplar Point; $320M for transportation improvements around the RFK campus for pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers; $14M to attract businesses and diversify our economy; and $1M to help Children’s Hospital find a new home here in DC . Ahead of the budget presentation, the Mayor and District officials presented a retrospective look at the District’s economy over the past 12 years, highlighting changing economic conditions and the fiscal impacts on DC government. Pre-pandemic years: the District experienced stable, predictable growth, a fast-growing population, and strong Downtown demand which resulted in steady revenue growth that funded the expansion of programs and services. COVID years: job losses, significant drop in sales taxes, major disruptions to work patterns, and massive infusions of federal dollars caused huge economic swings, and at times, significant growth. Current, driving growth years: the District continues to adjust to changed workplace trends, and has been greatly impacted by the elimination of tens of thousands of federal and contractor jobs and a shrinking federal footprint, but still maintains a strong financial foundation and continues to experience growth. Find the full FY27 budget presentation at budget.dc.gov . The FY27 budget books will be posted online on April 14 at cfo.dc.gov/budget .

[{"title": "Bowser Administration Releases Report Showing Strong Return on Investment from the University of the District of Columbia", "time": null, "end_time": null, "summary": "Bowser Administration Releases Report Showing Strong Return on Investment from the University of the District of Columbia Tuesday, Dec 16, 2025 lynn.romano Tue, 12/16/2025 - 1:14pm UDC Graduates Earn Significantly More Than Peers with Only a High School Diploma, Underscoring the University’s Role in Building the District’s Talent Pipeline (Washington, DC) – Today, the Bowser Administration and the Office of Education Through Employment Pathways (ETEP) released new findings on the economic value of a bachelor’s degree from the University of the District of Columbia (UDC), highlighting the university’s critical role in strengthening the District’s talent pipeline. The analysis shows that earning a bachelor’s degree from UDC leads to an estimated $1.9 million increase in lifetime earnings compared to individuals with only a high school diploma. The findings show that a UDC bachelor’s degree is a strong long-term investment, meeting the Postsecondary Value Commission’s standard for minimum economic return . One year after graduation, graduates from 18 of 22 UDC programs earn median wages above a living wage, with the highest earnings in health fields, computer and information sciences, engineering, education, and accounting. “UDC is a critical part of a District resident’s path to economic mobility, and I am thrilled to see these results reaffirm that role,” said Deputy Mayor Paul Kihn. “ETEP continues to deliver on its commitment to building understanding about outcomes for individuals served by DC’s education and workforce system.” The project is the result of a new partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau’s Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes project and is funded in part by the Strada Education Foundation. The report allowed UDC and ETEP to access and understand real earnings data for UDC graduates for the first time. “This new report underscores the value of a UDC degree and the doors it opens for our students and their families,” said UDC President Maurice D. Edington. “As we continue delivering on the promise of offering high-quality, accessible public education, we are proud of the vital role we play in strengthening the District’s talent pipeline and preparing graduates to meet the workforce needs of a rapidly changing economy.” “The ETEP report offers valuable insight for past, present and future Firebirds,” said UDC Chief Academic Officer April Massey. “They affirm that the vast majority of UDC’s academic programs lead to strong job opportunities, competitive wages and a meaningful return on investment. In addition, this transparency helps prospective students make informed choices about their educational and career paths. We appreciate our long partnership with the DME and this new tool that strengthens how we communicate the value of a UDC education to the District community.” The report also highlights UDC’s role in the local workforce, finding that half of graduates with health-related degrees work in the District’s health care sector five years after graduation. The analysis identifies opportunities to strengthen the education pipeline, as fewer than 10% of bachelor’s graduates in education are employed in DC’s education sector one year after graduation. To support student success, the Bowser Administration recently invested $1 million to enhance UDC’s Student Success Center, funding 10 undergraduate academic advisors and expanding career success resources to improve graduation rates. An additional $1.7 million investment in the Pathways to Behavioral Health program supports critical staffing needs in DC schools while connecting District residents to meaningful careers. In 2024, Mayor Bowser established the Office of Education Through Employment Pathways to track education and employment outcomes and apply these insights to strengthen programs that prepare young people for college and careers. “This work demonstrates what is possible when we measure our success not only on graduation, but real-world outcomes,” said Monica Dodge, Executive Director of the Office of Education Through Employment Pathways for the District of Columbia. “By continuing this work, we can better understand the strengths in our education and workforce system and where we need to improve.” These findings build on a growing portfolio of career-connected education partnerships between the Bowser Administration and UDC that link academic programs directly to high-demand careers and a pipeline to the middle class. Recent partnerships include: The DC Fire and EMS–UDC Paramedic Program , launching in 2026, which will train 50–75 paramedics annually and create a pathway to middle-class careers in emergency medical services. The OSSE Apprenticeship in Teaching Program , launched in 2024, which enables paraprofessionals and recent graduates to earn bachelor’s degrees at UDC while working toward teacher certification in high-need subject areas. The Advanced Technical Centers (ATCs) where UDC provides instruction and college credit for cybersecurity at the Ward 5 ATC, with health care certification programs planned for the Ward 8 ATC. The PEPCO Utility Training Program, through the DC Infrastructure Academy (DCIA) , partners with UDC to deliver customized Construction and Skills Trades (CAST) training and ensure graduates are job- and career-ready.

[{"title": "Mayor Bowser Presents Fiscal Year 2026 Budget: Grow DC", "time": null, "end_time": null, "summary": "Mayor Bowser Presents Fiscal Year 2026 Budget: Grow DC Tuesday, May 27, 2025 david.hudson Tue, 05/27/2025 - 11:26am Mayor’s Budget Proposal Responds to Shifting Economy with a Growth Agenda to Create New Economic Activity and New Jobs for DC Residents (Washington, DC) – Mayor Muriel Bowser shared Grow DC, her Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) Budget. Grow DC is a bold, proactive growth agenda to generate new economic activity, create new jobs for DC residents, and increase revenue to support city services and programs. “With this budget, we’re not waiting for change to happen – we’re making change happen. The Growth Agenda is about creating jobs for DC residents and generating the economic activity we need to keep DC a world-class city,” said Mayor Bowser. “This budget acknowledges the challenges we are facing, but also includes bold, forward-thinking solutions to change our economic trajectory.” Washington, DC continues to thrive as a world-class city, welcoming record numbers of visitors, balancing budgets for 29 consecutive years, having the fastest-improving urban school district in the country, and driving crime down to historic lows. However, recent federal actions have resulted in a shifting economy – both for the city and the entire region. The Chief Financial Officer’s February revenue estimate forecasts revenues to be reduced by $1 billion over the next four years, driven by the expected loss of 40,000 federal government-related jobs, reduced income, and lower consumer spending. To meet the moment, Grow DC focuses on growing DC’s economy, rightsizing government spending, cutting red tape and making it easier to do business in DC, and investing in shared priorities. Mayor Bowser’s budget avoids any tax increases and strengthens DC’s long-term economic outlook by protecting critical programs and services. More than half of local funds are invested in public education and human support services. The $2.6 billion FY26 capital budget prioritizes DC Public Schools facilities, transportation networks, and WMATA. Below are the highlights of investments and initiatives in Mayor Bowser’s FY26 budget proposal: Advancing a Transformational Growth Agenda With the city facing economic uncertainty caused by a shrinking federal presence, including the possible loss of 40,000 jobs, Grow DC invests in a transformational growth agenda to attract new businesses, create new jobs, generate new tax revenue, and quickly grow the local economy. The Growth Agenda will help the District attract new jobs and cut red tape by: Balancing attraction dollars to include tourism and business attraction Making it easier to open a new business in DC: Reforming zoning procedures to streamline reviews of new development projects Pausing Building Energy Performance Standards and Net Zero requirements Repealing the Parking Benefit Equivalent Program Reforming the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act to encourage new investment in housing production Repealing Initiative 82 and establish sales tax holidays for restaurants Making it easier to keep a business in DC by cutting taxes and supporting local businesses: No sales tax increase in FY26 Reduce Universal Paid Leave tax from 0.75% to 0.72% Expand eligibility for DMPED retail grant programs It doubles down on DC’s fast-growing sports, entertainment, and tech industries: $171 million for Capital One Arena improvements $6 million to support the historic National Theatre, Lincoln Theatre, and Howard Theatre $2.2 million to revive the Qualified High Technology Companies tax incentive $2.4 million to create the DC Technology Ecosystem Fund to invest in business accelerators and incubators for start-up tech companies in DC $681 million to support horizontal construction and parking costs at RFK (and $175 million in FY32, which is outside the plan) $202 million for utilities, roadways, and a WMATA study at RFK The plan also includes important investments to build on the success of DC’s Comeback Plan and Downtown Action Plan: $1.1 million to support businesses in Chinatown and Gallery Place while the Capital One Arena redevelopment project is under construction $17 million for the Gallery Square project and the revitalization of Farragut Square, McPherson Square, and Lafayette Park $250,000 to support the Chinatown Renewal Initiative to rejuvenate and preserve the cultural identity of Chinatown Investing in Shared Priorities Grow DC continues to invest in important shared priorities—programs, services, and investments that keep DC a world-class city and a place where people want to live, work, and visit. Investing in our Schools: $2.8 billion , a $123 million increase from FY25, to support more than 101,000 DC Public School (DCPS) and DC Public Charter School (DCPCS) students $270 million to support pay raises for DCPS and DCPCS teachers $2 billion for 30 school modernizations $148 million for small capital improvements at schools such as HVAC and window replacements and athletic field improvements $10.7 million to replace and modernize technology equipment and upgrade IT infrastructure $3 million to continue High Impact Tutoring $25 million to demolish Building 41 and begin planning and design for new student housing for the University of the District of Columbia Full funding for core childcare programs including the childcare subsidy, PKEEP, and the pay equity fund Investing in a Safe DC : $30 million increase for MPD to hire more officers, create a new horse mounted unit, and purchase crime fighting technology and equipment $2 million for Safe Commercial

make improvements to the Sumner School as the new home of the DC Archives and $23 million to build a state-of-the-art facility for storage in DC Rightsizing To afford critical investments in students, teachers and schools, the budget eliminates programs that had not begun, saving $31 million annually, including Child Wealth Funds and the Child Tax Credit. DC’s Medicaid costs were forecasted to grow by $182 million. To lessen the increase, the budget includes proposed changes to eligibility, benefits, and provider rates: Eligibility: shift childless adults and adult caregivers between 138% - 200% of the federal poverty level to a new health plan run by the DC Health Benefits Exchange with largely the same benefits, minimal to zero premiums and out-of-pocket costs, and ability to utilize existing managed care organizations to avoid coverage disruptions Benefits: long-term care and Home and Community Based Reform, Drug Rebates for zero pay claims, and reform of durable medical equipment Provider Rates: pause inflationary adjustments for rates and implement a targeted efficiency level for managed care organizations DC’s locally funded Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program expenses have grown 48% since 2020 and were forecasted to grow by $11 million more in FY26. Making the following changes eliminates this $11 million increase and saves $2 million on an annual basis: Pause the COLA increase for benefits Adjust the temporary reduction in benefits for households who don’t meet their requirements for four consecutive weeks without good cause Overtime costs have risen significantly due to staff shortages, increased demand for service, and leave usage, costing DC $29 million more in FY26. In addition to recruitment and retention, this budget proposes the following changes to DC’s Paid Family Leave program: Limit family medical leave for caretaking of a family member to 2 weeks Define family member to include immediate family Create waiting period for family/personal medical leave Require 12-week work commitment upon return from paid family leave Closing the FY25 CR Gap The District faced two challenges when building a FY 2025 supplemental: Based on the Continuing Resolution (CR) passed by the House, DC was required to reduce its previously approved budget authority by $1.13 billion. As happens every year, the District also needed to address $167 million of current year spending pressures as well as make $180 million resources available to meet year-end obligations. To address these two issues, the District: Instituted a hiring freeze saving $63 million in personnel costs Made $175 million of non-personnel services reductions Shifted $202 million of spending and costs that could wait from FY25 to FY26 or FY27 in workforce investment and HPTF and $160 million of local funds into special purpose revenue funds in FY 25 Captured $117 million of excess special purpose and dedicated tax revenues In doing so, DC will avoid the most devastating cuts that would have had a significant impact on residents, businesses, and visitors. With these changes we were able to ensure: No furloughs or layoffs No facility closures A fully funded public safety & public education ecosystem No changes to summer programming See the full budget presentation at budget.dc.gov .

The Mayor shared the report at today’s Senior Fest celebration at the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center. “Ten years ago, I promised to wake up each day humbled, energized, and committed to doing the little things and the big things that make DC the best city in the world. That was my first promise as Mayor, and along the way, I’ve made a few more,” said Mayor Bowser. “Together, we’ve moved our city forward with promises made and promises kept. We opened a new hospital, drove down homelessness, added more housing, created new opportunities in our schools, and so much more. Now, as we look ahead, we’re embracing a bold, transformational growth agenda that will position DC for the next decade – and more – of opportunity. Thank you, DC, for ten years of progress.” The 10-Year Progress Report builds on Mayor Bowser’s commitment to transparency and accountability, highlighting key milestones for the District and numerous promises made and kept throughout her tenure as Mayor, including: A New Hospital East of the River: On April 15, 2025, Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center GW Health opened in Ward 8, bringing full-service health care and a maternity ward east of the Anacostia River. Closing the Old DC General Shelter: The Mayor closed the old DC General shelter and replaced it with smaller, more dignified and service-enriched shelters across DC, part of a larger plan to completely transform the family homeless services system. Those efforts have helped drive down family homelessness by 61% over the past decade. 36,000 New Homes by 2025: The District met the Mayor’s ambitious housing goal ahead of schedule in July 2024, providing growth that has helped blunt the rise in housing costs, with average rents in DC increasing at half the national average. Expanding Early Childhood Education and Opening New Schools: Mayor Bowser’s commitment to child care, free pre-K, and modernized schools citywide has ensured more families can access high-quality education and care. Unsticking Stuck Projects Across All 8 Wards: Long-stalled sites like Skyland Town Center, the McMillan Sand Filtration Plant, the Parks at Walter Reed, and St. Elizabeths East have been transformed into housing, retail, health care, and recreation destinations under Mayor Bowser’s leadership. 180 Acres of Opportunity on the Banks of the Anacostia: After nearly a decade of advocacy, the District has finally gained control of the RFK campus and is moving forward with a vision to bring the Commanders home and create a year-round campus for recreation, housing, shopping, and more. The report also highlights the transformational growth agenda, which will form Mayor Bowser’s Fiscal Year 2026 budget. The plan will create new jobs, generate new revenue, and attract new businesses to DC. The Bowser Administration’s focus remains on activating underutilized spaces in Downtown DC and across the city, growing sectors like sports, entertainment, and tech, and removing barriers to growth to make it easier to do business in the District.
