Congresswoman Brown's FY27 Community Project Funding Requests
Community Project Funding (CPF) allows Members of Congress to request direct funding for projects that benefit the communities they represent. CPFs are separate from federal grants and funding apportioned by formula.
Funding requests do not guarantee funding for any individual program. Funding is decided once the budget is agreed to by both chambers of Congress and signed into law by the President.
Please direct any further relevant questions about the request process to OH-11 Appropriations at BrownOH11.Appropriations@mail.house.gov.
**Note: This page will update as requests are made to each appropriate Appropriations Subcommittee.**
It is my privilege to recommend the following projects for consideration for Ohio's 11th Congressional District for Fiscal Year 2027.
