WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representative Adam Smith (D-Wash.) today announced the 15 Community Project Funding requests he submitted to the House Appropriations Committee for consideration in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 appropriations bill.
The requested funding would go towards 15 community projects across the Ninth District, which will make great strides for affordable housing, public transportation, criminal justice and public safety, mental and behavioral health care, workforce and education, small business, economic empowerment, and more.
“The appropriations process is an important way to send federal dollars back to our districts and make investments that will strengthen our communities. The 15 community projects I am announcing today for consideration in the FY 2024 appropriations bill will serve individuals and families in our region who need our support – from survivors of sexual assault, to people reentering the community from incarceration, to immigrant and refugee communities – and will invest in some our region’s most pressing challenges including housing, transportation, economic opportunity, and public safety. I am thrilled to submit these projects for consideration, and I will push to get this funding across the finish line to advance the incredible work of these organizations and strengthen the Ninth District.”
See below for the full list of Rep. Smith’s Community Project Funding requests. Submitting projects to the House Appropriations Committee is the first step in the process and does not guarantee they will be funded.
