FY27 Appropriations Request Forms

Programmatic and Language Requests

In order to be sure that I’m hearing from my constituents, I’ve set up this site to solicit appropriations requests. Please use the links below and follow the instructions to submit appropriations requests for Fiscal Year 2027 by March 9, 2026. Unfortunately, due to the short turnaround time provided by the Appropriations Committee, the deadline will be firmly enforced to ensure my office has enough time to review and submit requests.

A programmatic request is a request to fund a general federal agency or program at a specified level. For example: Provide $4,000,000,000 for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

A language request is a request for bill or report language that does not direct funding to a particular entity but encourages, urges, or directs some type of action by an agency. For example: The Committee encourages the National Cancer Institute to support research to develop diagnostic tests for early detection of kidney cancer.

Community Project Funding

The House Appropriations Committee announced that the Committee will accept requests for Community Project Funding (CPF) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027. This allows Members of Congress to request funding for specific projects in their districts in order to serve the public good. This process also ensures that taxpayers get a say in allocating funding that has a direct impact on their communities.

The House Appropriations Committee has placed new restrictions and guidelines on the CPF program and intends to fund community projects on a limited basis in the FY 27 appropriations bills. Each office will be allowed to submit a total of 20 CPF requests across all eligible accounts and those that address the most significant needs of the community are more likely to be included although there is no guarantee that all 20 CPF requests will be included in the FY 27 appropriations bills.

Only eligible CPF requests that meet all the guidelines established by the Committee will be accepted:

  • You must be able to demonstrate that the request has community support.  This requirement is integral for a successful CPF request, but it is flexible.  Acceptable examples of community support include letters from elected officials, press articles, newspaper editorial board pieces, a state-intended use plan or community development plan, or a city council resolution.
    • Proof of community support should be included as a separate attachment in your application or readily available (24 hour turn around) if your project is selected.
  • In order to ensure a federal nexus exists for each funded project, the Committee will only fund projects that are tied to a federal authorization law.
  • The project or requesting entity must have no financial ties to the Member or his family.
  • Funding must be for FY 27 only.
  • If the project would normally require a funding match or cost share by a non-federal entity, then the requesting entity will need to demonstrate that it can provide this match if it makes a CPF request.  The Committee will conform to statutory match and cost-sharing requirements.

The recipient of the CPF must be a governmental entity or 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization although there may be further restrictions within individual accounts.  Requests made by for-profit entities are not permitted.
