Dear neighbor:

I’m writing to share some positive news for our community. I’m thrilled to announce that I have secured nearly $11 million in funding for 10 local projects in our district as part of the government funding legislation President Biden signed into law this week. All 10 projects I fought for were included in the final legislation. The projects will help address homelessness; expand access to mental health and other services; and support our veterans right here in California’s 33rd Congressional District. The government funding bill will help American families with the cost of living; create American jobs; and support the vulnerable while tackling some of our nation’s biggest challenges. 

I am proud to have worked alongside so many local leaders to help ensure our community has the resources it needs for a healthier, safer, and more resilient future.

I was able to secure funding for the following projects that directly benefit our community:

• $2,000,000 for Santa Monica Parking Lot Affordable Housing Conversion
• $1,500,000 for CIRCLE 24/7: Crisis and Incident Response through Community-Led Engagement
• $1,000,000 for Torrance Homelessness Response - Encampment Infrastructure
• $1,000,000 for Agoura Hills/Calabasas Community Center
• $1,000,000 for Fairfax Cool Neighborhoods
• $1,000,000 for Cedars-Sinai, Los Angeles, CA for facilities and equipment
• $1,000,000 for Southern California Regional Occupational Center, Torrance, CA for a workforce development initiative
• $1,000,000 for Beach Cities Health District, Redondo Beach, CA for facilities and equipment for the Youth Wellness Center
• $749,650 for Arnold Avenue Rehabilitation at the West LA VA
• $600,000 for Regents of the University of California, Los Angeles, CA for the purchase of equipment, including telehealth equipment
