117th Congress
PHILADELPHIA (March 31, 2021) – Congressman Dwight Evans (D-PA-3rd) on Tuesday announced his Housing Is Essential plan for more than $63 billion in new federal affordable housing funding. He was joined by western Pennsylvania Congressman Mike Doyle (D-PA-18th) and housing advocates from across the state who support the plan.
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee will collect highway and transit Member Designated Projects (MDPs) as part of this year's reauthorization legislation. My office will accept requests through this form – our deadline is Wednesday, April 7.
I wanted to let everyone know that I'm providing more information for Philadelphia nonprofits on how to apply for the new federal Community Project Funding opportunity:
PHILADELPHIA (March 18, 2021) – Congressman Dwight Evans (D-PA-3rd) announced the U.S. House of Representatives will accept limited member requests for Community Project Funding in appropriations bills for the upcoming fiscal year.
The U.S. House will accept limited member requests for Community Project Funding in appropriations bills for the upcoming fiscal year, and I want to make sure as many Philadelphia nonprofits as possible are aware of this opportunity. I have set a deadline of April 5 for applications for CPF projects for the 3rd Congressional District.
Join Congressman Evans for an informative event for businesses and non-profits. This particular event will focus on resources for non-profit organizations.
I'm very pleased to report that President Biden has signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan into law today. I was proud to vote for it yesterday in the House because I believe it will deliver much-needed help to end the pandemic and pull many Philadelphians out of the economic hole caused by the Covid recession. This includes a new round of $1,400 stimulus payments to finish the job of delivering $2,000 in stimulus checks. I believe this new law will also be a huge down payment on a promise President Biden and I made to "build back better."
