John,

It is an honor for me to serve my community in Congress. Last week, my team and I hosted a Constituent Service Fair, where we helped residents one on one and connected them to the resources they need.

Another way I get to serve my constituents is by securing funding in the annual federal budget for important projects in my community. While in Congress, I’ve secured over $35 million for local community projects, and it’s been a joy to be able to visit recipients of Community Project Funding.

I am so proud to have partnered with our local community groups and advocates in prioritizing the needs of our residents with critical programs, such as affordable housing and health equity.

The President signed last year’s budget into law this year, and I’ve been so happy to see over $19.6 million go to these 15 community projects in Southeast Michigan:

• $1,500,000 for the American Indian Health Family Services of Southeastern Michigan in Detroit for facilities and equipment

• $500,000 for Covenant Community Care in Detroit for facilities and equipment

• $496,000 to Complete the Multi-Service Facility for Health and Human Services Project in Highland Park

• $281,200 for Health Unit on Davidson Avenue (The HUDA Clinic) in Detroit to upgrade their facilities and equipment to provide free comprehensive health care services to those who are uninsured or underinsured

• $2,500,000 for the Grandmont Rosedale Mixed-Use Development for Low-Income Senior Housing and Commercial Space in Detroit

• $1,386,216 for the Joe Louis Greenway West Chicago Connector

• $741,450 for the Wayne County Rehabilitation and Upgrade of Pump Station 182

• $600,000 for the Southfield Road Pedestrian Improvement Project in Ecorse

• $3,500,000 for the Expansion of Service-Learning for Wayne-Westland Community Schools District

• $2,100,000 for the Garden City Community Center Rehabilitation Project

• $1,000,000 for the Romulus Small Business Assistance Workforce Development Project

• $206,000 for the Dearborn Heights Libraries for student mobile library services, including a vehicle

• $2,000,000 for the Kessey Fieldhouse and Rouge River Boat Launch Capital Improvements in Melvindale to provide recreation sporting events for young adults and families, in addition to weekly senior services

• $2,000,000 for the Redford Township Wellness Center

• $869,500 for the Beechwood Center Renovation in River Rouge, the only operating recreation center for youth in that community

I am very proud to be a partner in the important work of investing in our communities, which moves us closer to justice and safety for all.
