Schiff secures federal funding for critical water infrastructure and to increase affordable housing

South Lake Tahoe, CA - Today, U.S. Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) is announcing he secured $2.2 million in federal funding for South Lake Tahoe projects that support critical infrastructure development that ensures water sustainability, and for the development of essential affordable housing.

Schiff delivered $1.2 million to South Lake Tahoe to enhance water infrastructure resilience by replacing aging water mains with larger, more resilient pipelines that will improve system capacity, reduce leaks, and ensure a reliable drinking water supply. This project will also improve public safety and wildfire preparedness.

He also delivered $1 million to Lake Tahoe Boulevard Affordable Housing which will be used to increase affordable housing supply, support local businesses to ensure they have staff in the region, and improve quality of life for residents with decreased commute times in South Lake Tahoe.

The funding is part of the $254,457,366 in total federal funding Schiff delivered for California for the 2026 fiscal year, with the passage of recent funding bills.

"I'm proud to have fought for and delivered $2.2 million for South Lake Tahoe, as part of hundreds of millions in federal investments that went to California in my first year in the U.S. Senate," said Senator Schiff. "These federal dollars will directly work toward improving housing affordability and infrastructure in South Lake Tahoe, and they would not be possible without the partnership of my colleague Senator Alex Padilla, our colleagues in the House, and community leaders who helped ensure that California receives the resources it deserves."
