The mayor’s office says officials encountered technical problems trying to get AmeriCorps funding, but the agency says those issues were resolved by the deadline.
By Fenit Nirappil Fenit Nirappil Reporter covering D.C. government and politics Email Bio Follow April 5 at 6:15 PM The federal agency that administers AmeriCorps funding in the District disputed claims that technical problems were behind the city’s failure to meet a crucial deadline to obtain millions in aid for education programs.
The failure to meet the Jan. 30 deadline means the city lost eligibility for more than $3.5 million in AmeriCorps funding for three education nonprofits: City Year, Reading Partners and the Literacy Lab. She said in a statement that her agency’s “records show that Serve D.C. contacted the National Service Hotline for assistance, and that no unresolved issues remained as of January 30, 2019.”
Asked Friday why employees would have been terminated if the reason for missing the deadline was technical issues, the spokeswoman said the terminations were not actually linked to the lost funding.
