Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez secured more than $14 million in federal funding for 15 community projects across New York’s 14th congressional district for fiscal year 2026, including over $11 million dedicated to 11 projects in the Bronx. The funding targets improvements to food access, education and environmental resilience across the district.
The projects were approved by the House Appropriations Committee through H.R. 6938 and H.R. 7148. under the Community Project Funding process, which allows members of Congress to request funding for a limited number of local initiatives that fall within the criteria of funding.
