FY23 Community Project Funding Requests

Rep. Mark Takano has submitted funding requests for important community projects in California’s 41st District to the House Appropriations Committee.

Under guidelines issued by the Appropriations Committee, each Representative may request funding for up to 15 projects in their community for fiscal year 2023 – 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. Additional information on the reforms governing Community Project Funding is available here.

In compliance with House Rules and Committee requirements, Rep. Mark Takano has certified that he and his immediate family have no financial interest in any of the projects he has requested.
