House Appropriations Committee Advances Over $14 Million For Representative Tran’s Community Project Funding Requests

Washington, DC - U.S. Representative Derek Tran (CA-45) announced today that the House Appropriations Committee approved funding levels for each of his 15 community project funding requests, allocating a total of $14.38 million for projects that will improve public safety, public health, infrastructure, and housing across California's 45th district.

In July, the House Appropriations Committee approved over $12 million in funding for 13 out of 15 of Tran's community project funding requests to construct affordable housing, repair local infrastructure, and improve public safety initiatives. An additional $2.1 million in funding to enhance community safety and emergency preparedness was approved following the full committee passage of the Fiscal Year 2026 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill on September 10, 2025, and the Fiscal Year 2026 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill on July 22nd, 2025. Thus far, Representative Tran has secured a total of $14,380,880 for 15 community projects in his district.

"Community Project Funding requests are essential to show our hard-working families that their tax dollars are being poured right back into our communities at home. I'm proud to have worked with the House Appropriations Committee to secure over $14 million in funding across all 15 projects I nominated - bringing us one step closer to improving the spaces and services families across Orange and LA Counties rely on every day," said Representative Tran. "This vital funding will go toward making our communities safer, healthier, and more affordable for all families by investing directly in our emergency response and public safety operations, local infrastructure, and low-income housing construction. I will keep fighting to enact this funding into law for our hardworking taxpayers."

The House Appropriations Committee has carefully reviewed each project and determined their funding level in this year's annual government funding bill. Now, the government funding bill for Fiscal Year 2026 awaits House floor consideration. If passed by the House and the Senate and subsequently signed into law by the President, the community projects for which funding was approved will be enacted into law and funded.

Community Project Funding is subject to strict public transparency and accountability requirements, only available to nonprofit and government entities (for-profit grantees are not eligible), and must demonstrate evidence of compelling community support. In addition, each Member of Congress must certify in writing that there is no financial interest in the project for them and their immediate family. All projects will be audited by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to ensure sound stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
