With just a few weeks before Mayor Bowser releases her first budget on April 2, join DCFPI for a forum on March 19 on what you can expect in the fiscal year 2016 budget!
Mayor Bowser has made important commitments to invest in affordable housing and address homelessness. Yet the city faces a large shortfall — there isn’t enough money to maintain current support for schools, health care, and DC’s other important services.
What will the mayor do to ensure that residents and businesses continue to get the services they rely on in the face of these challenges? DCFPI has invited key DC government finance leaders to help understand the city’s financial situation and how that affects the upcoming budget.
Matt Brown, Director, Mayor’s Office of Budget and Finance
Jennifer Budoff, Budget Director, District of Columbia Council
Fitzroy Lee, Chief Economist, Office of the Chief Financial Officer
The forum will be held Thursday, March 19 at 9:30 a.m. at DCFPI, located at 820 First Street NE (near Union Station Metro). Coffee and pastries will be available starting at 9:00 a.m.
Please R.S.V.P to Francine Richards at frichards@cbpp.org.
