Community Project Funding Requests

Detailed guidance from the Office of Congressman Himes on how to submit a request for Community Project Funding in Fiscal Year 2027 is forthcoming. Please check this website periodically as it will be updated with the latest application guidance.

Click here to register for an informational Zoom presentation on February 27, 2026 at 11:30 AM hosted by members of Congressman Himes’ staff regarding the Community Project Funding application process for Fiscal Year 2027.

To meet the needs of communities across the United States, the Appropriations Committee will again be accepting Community Project Funding requests from Members of Congress for Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27) appropriations legislation. This is in addition to the standard programmatic and language-based requests. Each Member of Congress is limited to no more than 15 CPF requests across all subcommittees for FY27 and there is no guarantee that all requested projects will be funded. The Committee will limit Community Project Funding to no more than 1 percent of discretionary spending. Please note that Congressman Himes’ office will put a very high premium on shovel-ready projects and a demonstrated ability to rapidly deploy funds when considering which applications to support.

Please note:

  1. All projects must meet the relevant statutory and administrative criteria for funding through the grant program under which they are submitted.
  2. A request submitted to Congressman Himes does NOT guarantee the project will be selected.
  3. The selection of a project does NOT guarantee it will be funded by the Appropriations Committee.
  4. The Appropriations Committee has yet to set its deadline to receive FY27 CPF applications; that information is anticipated to be released the week of February 23rd, 2026. Please check this webpage periodically throughout the week as it will be updated with the latest information.
