Fiscal Year 2026 Community Project Funding Request Form
This form is for use ONLY for community project funding requests. 

For other appropriations requests that do not request funding for a specific entity, please use our alternative form dedicated to these requests. 


Form Instructions:

Please fill out one form per request. 

Please provide detailed information regarding the location of your request in the subcommittee bill or report, down to the activity and account. After submission, if there are changes or updates to the information, please advise the staff responsible for the changes. Please be advised that staff may reach out with additional questions should the Appropriations Committee require additional information on a submission, both before and after the submission deadline. 

Not all Appropriations Subcommittees and accounts are eligible for community project funding. Currently, community project funding projects are NOT eligible within the following subcommittees and accounts:
  • Defense 
  • Financial Services and General Government 
  • Labor, Health, and Human Services, Education
  • Legislative Branch 
  • State, Foreign Operations 
The Appropriations Committee has provided information on its website on the specific accounts in each subcommittee bill that are eligible for requests, as well as account-specific requirements and restrictions. These may not be the same for every account. 

Please note that the office of Congresswoman Houchin is required by the Committee to make publicly available on its website the requests submitted by Congresswoman Houchin, including the dollar amount of the request and other details. This information will be drawn from the answers submitted via this form. 

If you have any questions about your request, please contact the staff person in Congresswoman Houchin's office corresponding with the subcommittee or topic of interest:
