These are forms of grants where members of Congress can request federal funding for a limited number of projects in their districts, allowing them to directly support in a financial way to these communities that need the resources. Over the last five years, we brought over $65 million for projects all over the district. Investing in housing, in food access, in environmental quality, in job training, partially funding the storm shelter in Hilltop. Hopefully, we'll be able to get the rest of the funding to complete that project. (31:53–32:02)
