OMB cannot commit to revising funding for adult literacy programs at present, but might reconsider based on future economic conditions and Council priorities.
- An addendum allows more providers to apply under new terms and extends the application deadline.
- The revision might affect 17 council districts by potentially leaving them without adult literacy programs.
- The OMB director cites current economic conditions as a reason for being unable to commit to budget amendments.
- Discussions on reallocating funds for high-need areas, especially with respect to migrants, are anticipated as the economy improves.

However, if the economy continues to improve, And yeah, when we have the resources as we get closer to adoption, we will discuss priorities of the Council and the administration and see what can be funded.
