<br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: 3/17/2025 <br />Item No.: 7.a. <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br /> <br /> <br />Item Description: Receive Information from Congresswoman McCollum regarding <br />Community Project Funding <br />1 <br />2 Background <br />3 Each year, members of the United States House and Senate can sponsor a limited number <br />4 of one-time funding requests for local community projects that do not fit easily within <br />5 existing grant programs or appropriations requests. Unlike a regular federal grant <br />6 application, which are submitted to federal agencies, cities submit a project proposal <br />7 directly to their federal legislators. <br />8 <br />9 Community Project Funding (CPFs) grants provide investment in a wide variety of projects <br />10 such as housing, homelessness prevention, workforce training, public facilities, parks, <br />11 resilience planning and other critical infrastructure and services. <br />12 <br />13 At this time there is no official guidance from the House majority on whether Community <br />14 Project Funding will be available in Fiscal Year 2026 or what the eligibility requirements will <br />15 be if community project requests are allowed. However, in the interest of preparing <br />16 potential partners to apply for CPFs before those decisions are announced, staff from <br />17 Congresswoman McCollum's office will be in attendance to provide further information <br />18 regarding Community Project Funding. <br />19 <br />20 Policy Objectives <br />21 The presentation is informational only. <br />22 <br />23 Equity Impact Summary <br />24 Informational only. <br />25 <br />26 Budget Implications <br />27 Informational only. <br />28 <br />29 Staff Recommendations <br />30 N/A <br />31 <br />32 Requested Council Action <br />33 Receive information. <br />34 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />Qbhf!23!pg!596 <br /> <br />
