Community Project Funding
Community Project Funding is an appropriations program that brings direct funding to projects throughout Texas Congressional District 35.
Most importantly, each request must include demonstrated community support. Projects are required to submit evidence of community support, such as:
- Letters of support from elected community leaders
- Press articles highlighting the need for the specific project
- Resolutions passed by local/county/state governments
- Projects listed on community development plans, state intended use plans, and other publicly available planning documents
- Support from local newspaper editorial boards, etc.
In the interest of transparency, all Members are required to post all Community Project Funding requests submitted to the committee on their website. The posting includes the name of the proposed recipient, the address, the amount of the request, and an explanation of the purpose and justification for the use of taxpayer funds.
