Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-10) secured funding for fourteen South Sound community projects that will increase affordable housing, boost public safety, enhance regional infrastructure and transit, and support our local food banks. The government funding package was signed into law earlier today. 

“I’m pleased to help deliver these projects that will uplift local communities across the South Sound. They create local jobs, improve public safety, enhance several roads and water infrastructure, address hunger, expand access to public transit, and build more affordable housing,” said Strickland. “Community Project Funding helps make the South Sound a more safe and secure place to live and work.”

The fourteen FY24 Community Project Funding (CPF) grants receiving funding are:

House Democrats fought and were successfully able to remove several extreme MAGA Republican policies from the federal funding bills. Instead, the final bipartisan 2024 funding bills will help keep our communities safe, improve infrastructure, and boost our economy.
