The U.S. House of Representatives will consider Community Project Funding (CPF) requests in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 appropriations process. Rep. Pete Aguilar has submitted funding requests for important community projects in California’s 33rd Congressional District to the House Appropriations Committee.
The House Appropriations Committee has issued guidance for the FY25 Community Project Funding process. Our office’s guidebook is available here.
Each Representative may request funding for up to 15 projects in their community for Fiscal Year 2025 – although only a handful may actually be funded. Projects are restricted to a limited number of federal funding streams, and only state and local governments and eligible non-profit entities are permitted to receive funding. The funding a project receives can only be used during one fiscal year (October 1, 2024 – September 30, 2025).
Additional information on the reforms made last year to the Community Project Funding process are available here. This guidance may change again once the committee sends out its updated guidance.
The form for requesting FY25 CPF project funding is available here and the deadline is Sunday, April 28th at 11:59pm PT. After submitting the CPF form, please email RepAguilar.Appropriations@mail.house.gov the supplementary questions for the account you submitted your project under.
Please note that this form is NOT for programmatic requests. If you have any questions, please reach out to RepAguilar.Appropriations@mail.house.gov.
In compliance with House Rules and Committee requirements, Rep. Aguilar has certified that he, his spouse, and his immediate family have no financial interest in any of the projects he has requested.
