Under guidelines issued by the Appropriations Committee, each Representative may request funding for up to 10 projects in their community for Fiscal Year 2022 – although only a handful may be funded. Projects are restricted to a limited number of federal funding streams, and only state and local governments and eligible nonprofit entities are permitted to receive funding. Representative Larsen more than 100 requests by the deadline. Additional information on the reforms governing Community Project Funding is available here.
