The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022 —passed by Congress and signed into law by President Joe Biden in March – included much-needed investments to lower the cost of living for working families, create good-paying jobs, and address issues we face at home and abroad.

For the first time in over a decade, the package also included funding for Member-specific community projects. Congresswoman Sánchez secured funding for nine community projects requested by community partners in the 38th Congressional District.

"La Mirada's Neff Park is beautiful and has historic meaning in our community," said Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez. "I am delighted to have secured this funding to make improvements to the park and preserve it for the next generation to enjoy."

Specifically, the funding Congresswoman Sánchez secured will be used to replace deteriorated asphalt walkways with concrete, place new concrete walkways to enhance accessibility to all areas, improve lighting throughout the park, and extend wood rail fencing around the perimeter of the park.

In addition to this project, Congresswoman Sánchez delivered funding for the following community projects (listed in alphabetical order):

• $200,000 for the Boys and Girls Club of Whittier

• $200,000 for the City of Bellflower

• $2 million for the City of La Palma

• $1.72 million for the City of Norwalk

• $2.5 million for the City of Pico Rivera's PFAS Groundwater Treatment Project

• $1.5 million for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works

• $450,000 for the City of Whittier's Central Library Remodel and Improvement Project

• $500,000 for The Whole Child's Mental Health and Housing Services Project

Congresswoman Sánchez continued: "As your Representative in Congress, it is my honor to fight for you every day. That includes fighting for the resources needed to complete the projects in your neighborhood that are important to you. I was proud to request, fight for, and deliver these nine projects that total nearly $10 million in funding for Southern California."
