Federal Community Project Funding Requests Open for Fiscal Year 2027

House lawmakers are now able to request community funding projects (CFPs), previously known as “earmarks”, in the Labor, Health and Human Services appropriations bill for FY 2027. CFPs are requests for funding under an existing program or account that can be used for a project in a member’s state or district. Lawmakers will be able to request funding for projects under the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) account if the projects meet certain requirements (see below). Lawmakers field requests for funding for specific projects in their districts/states and then can submit up to 20 CFP requests to the Appropriations Committee for consideration to be included in appropriations bills.

Under the HRSA account, funding can be used for the cost of limited-scope construction, renovation, or capital equipment purchase for facilities for health, mental health, or substance use disorder services, training of health professionals, or medical research. In addition to construction and renovation, CPF funding can be used to acquire capital equipment, such as lab equipment, x-ray machines, or telehealth and information technology.

For Pennsylvania residents in the PA-15 district must submit their application for funding by 5:00pm on Friday, March 6, 2026. using this form.
