Additional site improvements will enhance accessibility, safety, lighting, sidewalks, and landscaping around the building. By reinvesting in this existing property, the project will preserve a vital affordable housing resource and ensure these 96 units remain safe, reliable, and available to Cincinnati residents for decades to come.
  • Federal Nexus Letter
  • Town Hall Flats Westwood Business District Mixed-Use Revitalization Project
    • Recipient: The City of Cincinnati
    • Description: This project will replace vacant and blighted structured in the center of the Town Hall Flats Westwood Business District of Cincinnati with a new mixed-use building. The site sits adjacent to Westwood Town Hall, at the corner of Harrison and Ruehlmann. Core components include 3,300 SF of ground floor commercial space and 40 mixed-income residential rental units. Of the 40 units, 16 will be affordable to households earning 80% AMI or less. Town Hall Flats will be the Westwood neighborhood’s largest housing development in decades, adding residential density along a main transit corridor, in line with the City of Cincinnati’s recent Connected Communities legislation. Town Hall Flats will add density to a growing business district, increasing foot traffic and customer base to sustain the economic viability of the area. Additionally, this project will create approximately 60 full-time temporary construction jobs with an annual payroll of about $3MM.
    • Federal Nexus Letter
  • MirrorLESS Camera Upgrades for SORTA’s Fixed Route Fleet
    • Recipient: Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority
    • Funding Request: $2,800,000
    • Description: SORTA is seeking funding to equip its entire fixed-route transit fleet with MirrorLESS Camera Vision Systems, replacing traditional side mirrors with high-definition, weather-resistant cameras that provide operators with a wider and clearer field of vision. This upgrade eliminates blind spots and improves visibility in low light, glare, and adverse weather—addressing some of the most common collision risks involving pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable roadway users. Because transit buses operate daily through neighborhood streets, busy corridors, school zones, and multimodal areas, improving operator visibility is critical to protecting the communities they serve. The MirrorLESS system provides a panoramic, real-time view that enhances situational awareness and helps operators navigate turns, intersections, and nearby activity more safely. In addition to improving safety, the system will reduce costly repairs associated with mirror strikes, one of the most common maintenance issues in the transit industry. The project is fully scoped and ready for deployment, delivering immediate safety improvements while lowering long-term operational costs.
    • Federal Nexus Letter
  • Mt. Airy Basecamp Community Redevelopment Project
    • Recipient: The City of Cincinnati
    • Amount Requested: $1,200,000
    • Description: The Mt Airy Basecamp Community Redevelopment Project is a catalytic, multi-phased mixed-use development designed to permanently activate a highly visible business district corner. Building upon significant existing community investments, including completed site demolition and the proactive installation of foundational underground infrastructure and utility tie-ins, this shovel-ready development will transform an underutilized footprint into a vibrant economic anchor. The project features high-efficiency “Missing Middle” residential units equipped with specialized acoustic glazing to mitigate urban traffic noise. By pairing active, street-level commercial energy with modern, transit-oriented housing, the development leverages previous infrastructure outlays to deliver a ready-to-build, revenue-generating hub that directly addresses the neighborhood’s need for both business incubation and walkable urban housing. This project is an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars because it will leverage earlier municipal infrastructure investments to generate long-term, taxable economic growth, and turn a vehicular thoroughfare into a pedestrian-friendly destination. The project aims to attract working professionals and retain current residents, while acting as an economic catalyst for the Colerain Avenue corridor.
    • Federal Nexus Letter

The project is located in Walnut Hills, close to downtown Cincinnati, and will serve southwest Ohio residents who come to us for care. Community savings from treatment at The Crossroads Center are estimated at $25 million, largely due to reduced costs in healthcare and the criminal justice system.
    • Federal Nexus Letter
  • The Healthcare Connection’s Lincoln Heights Expansion and Renovation Project
    • Recipient: The Healthcare Connection
    • Funding Request: $977,443
    • Description: This request is for a one-time capital investment in construction and equipment to expand the Lincoln Heights health center. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) serving a designated Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) and Medically Underserved Area (MUA), this project meets the FY 2027 eligibility requirements for “essential healthcare facilities.” This ambitious expansion project is designed to address the pressing healthcare gaps and improve the well-being of one of Cincinnati’s most historic communities. This initiative will transform previously unused space adjacent to the main waiting room, creating a more efficient, welcoming and patient-focused environment. The funding will be used strictly for fixed capital improvements and the purchase of equipment with a unit cost exceeding $5,000 and a useful life of more than one year, ensuring long-term taxpayer value.
    • Federal Nexus Letter
  • Western Hills Viaduct Replacement
    • Recipient: The City of Cincinnati
    • Funding Request: $3,000,000
    • Description: This project will contribute to reconstructing the 94-year-old Western Hills Viaduct, a deteriorating half-mile concrete and steel bridge that is both structurally deficient and functionally obsolete. The viaduct carries approximately 55,000 vehicles per day, including 420 buses, and serves as a critical connection for nearly one-third of Cincinnati residents living west of I-75 who commute to the region’s major employment centers in Downtown and Uptown. Many of these commuters rely on Metro bus service, particularly as nearly half of Cincinnati’s zero-car households are located west of I-75 and alternative routes are limited due to the city’s radial street network. The project will replace the aging structure while improving connections near one of the nation’s busiest interstate corridors and a major CSX rail yard. It will also add modern pedestrian and bicycle facilities, expanding transportation options that currently do not exist on the viaduct. Replacement is necessary due to structural deterioration, weight restrictions, safety concerns related to outdated ramp designs, increasing maintenance costs, and the viaduct’s role in supporting regional freight, transit, and passenger rail movement, as well as its integration with the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project.

  • Findlay Market Farmers’ Market Renovation
    • Recipient: The City of Cincinnati
    • Funding Request: $2,000,000
    • Description: Findlay Market is Ohio’s oldest continuously-run public market. It is home to more than 65 full-time merchants and over 100 part-time farmers, producers, artisans and vendors. The Findlay Market Farmer’s Market is the largest in the region, attracting farmers and small businesses from Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. The renovation of the Farm Shed at Findlay Market will allow the space to be enclosed during extreme weather conditions, creating a more comfortable and reliable environment for farmers, vendors, and customers year-round. With these improvements, growers and producers will be able to set up consistently throughout the year rather than only during seasons when the weather is favorable. Farms across the Cincinnati metro area and nearby rural communities play a vital role in sustaining a strong and resilient local food ecosystem. Together, they connect rural farming communities with urban neighborhoods, ensuring that fresh, healthy, and locally produced foods reach residents, while supporting small businesses and regional economic growth. Strengthening infrastructure at the market will ensure these farmers, producers, and small businesses can continue serving as a critical link between rural and urban communities for years to come.

  • Butler-Warren Gateway Connector
    • Recipient: City of Monroe
    • Funding Request: $10,000,000
    • Description: This project will construct a new roadway connection between Gateway Boulevard and the intersection of Butler Warren Road and Mason Road to enhance transportation safety, mobility, and economic development. This critical north–south corridor will improve connectivity for residents, businesses, and freight traffic, support the planned Millikin Way interchange, and maximize access to Interstate 75, accommodating anticipated growth in traffic and commercial development. The project includes extending Gateway Boulevard to Butler Warren and Mason Roads and constructing a single-lane roundabout, designed for future expansion to a multi-lane configuration. From the existing Gateway Boulevard terminus to Butler Warren Road and approximately 4,000 feet south of Mason Road, the roadway will be built as a five-lane urban section with two travel lanes in each direction, a center turn lane, curb and gutter, and a closed storm sewer system. Mason Road will be reconstructed as a three-lane urban roadway with modern stormwater infrastructure, terminating just west of the I-75 overpass. Additional improvements include street lighting to enhance visibility and reduce nighttime crashes, a gateway feature at the Butler Warren/Gateway/Mason intersection to support placemaking and economic development, and traffic control, pavement markings, signage, and utility coordination to ensure safe construction and operation. This project addresses existing congestion and safety limitations while preparing the corridor for growth in commercial, industrial, and residential activity. By connecting to the future Millikin Road interchange, it will improve freight and commuter access to I-75, strengthen regional supply chains, and enhance business investment. Improved traffic operations and modern design will reduce accidents, support sustainable growth, and increase travel efficiency.

  • Bethany House Affordable Housing Project
    • Recipient: The Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority
    • Funding Request: $3,000,291
    • Description: The Bethany House Affordable Housing project will construct and operate a 50-unit apartment building exclusively with two-and three- bedroom units. 30 of the planned units will have three bedrooms, which is increasingly rare for new housing developments. All apartments will be targeted to working households earning 30%-50% of Area Median Income (AMI), which is an annual income of approximately $33,000-$55,000 per year. There is a critical need for affordable housing in the region, especially larger rental units for families. The lack of affordable, safe, permanent housing is a barrier to career advancement, financial independence, and home ownership. By increasing access to affordable housing, this project will enable parents to pursue better-paying jobs, work consistent hours, or participate in education and trainings. In addition, this project will provide stable housing for children, helping them to stay in the same school, build friendships, and maintain relationships with teachers and mentors. Consistent routines and stability are proven to promote stronger academic performance and social development. Over time, these benefits compound. Children who grow up in stable homes are more likely to graduate from high school, pursue higher education or skilled careers, earn higher incomes as adults, and contribute to the workforce and economy. Families who have affordable, stable housing are better able to save money, reduce debt, plan for the future, become financially independent, and buy their own homes.

  • Franklin Water Main Public Safety Project
    • Recipient: The City of Franklin
    • Funding Request: $3,133,460.00
    • Description: This project will replace the most vulnerable section of the City of Franklin’s drinking water infrastructure along the east bank of the Great Miami River. Ongoing riverbank erosion has exposed portions of a major water transmission main that were originally buried and protected, leaving the pipe and its deteriorating concrete casing increasingly vulnerable to damage during high water events and debris impacts. The project will install approximately 775 linear feet of new water main extending from Georgia Pacific Road and Miami Avenue to 5th Street and River Street, including a protected crossing beneath the river. This line is a critical component of Franklin’s drinking water system, serving roughly 10,000 residents, businesses, and public facilities with no redundant backup supply. Failure of the line could result in significant service disruptions, reduced fire protection capacity, and costly emergency repairs. Funding will allow the city—whose size, median household income, and poverty levels reflect more limited local resources—to proactively replace the most at-risk section of infrastructure and protect reliable drinking water service for the community.
    • Federal Nexus Letter
  • Carlisle Water Tower Project
    • Recipient: City of Carlisle
    • Funding Request: $1,250,000
    • Description: The City of Carlisle proposes to design and construct a municipal water tower that will increase system storage capacity and improve pressure management throughout the water distribution network. The project will include site preparation, foundation construction, tower installation, connection to the existing water system, and related infrastructure improvements necessary for operation and monitoring. Once constructed, the water tower will provide elevated storage that allows the system to maintain consistent pressure across the distribution network while also storing water during periods of lower demand for use during peak consumption periods. This operational capability improves system efficiency, reduces reliance on constant pump operation, and provides a reserve water supply for emergency situations. The project represents a critical step toward modernizing Carlisle’s water infrastructure and ensuring the system remains reliable, resilient, and capable of meeting the community’s long-term needs. Carlisle has experienced steady residential and commercial growth in recent years, which has increased demand on the city’s water distribution system. Without an elevated water storage facility, the system relies primarily on pump operations to maintain system pressure and meet peak demand periods. This operational structure can place additional strain on infrastructure and limits the system’s ability to respond efficiently during emergencies or periods of high-water usage.

  • Ohio River Basin Public Health Protection Project
    • Recipient: Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission
    • Funding Request: $1,000,000
    • Description: The Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO), the interstate agency responsible for pollution abatement throughout the Ohio River Basin, works with member states—including Ohio—to protect the river’s water quality. Because pollutants entering this heavily industrialized waterway remain a constant threat, continued investment in source water protection and emergency response systems is essential. This project will evaluate new monitoring technologies, assess existing systems, and replace aging or obsolete instrumentation to strengthen ORSANCO’s rapid response, communication, and notification capabilities relied upon by basin states and water utilities. The importance of these systems was demonstrated during the East Palestine train derailment, when ORSANCO’s monitoring data helped utilities and government agencies make informed decisions to protect 1.66 million consumers in the basin. While the system performed effectively during that incident, key components now require reassessment and modernization. These upgrades will ensure the monitoring and response network remains reliable for the states and communities that depend on the Ohio River for years to come.

  • Warren County Armco Park – Sports Park Connection Project
    • Recipient: Warren County Park District
    • Funding Request: $2,399,915
    • Description: This project will construct a pedestrian and bicycle tunnel beneath State Route 741, creating a critical connection between Warren County Sports Park and Warren County Armco Park. Together, these two regional recreation destinations attract more than 2 million visitors annually and generate over $110 million in economic activity. Currently, there is no safe pedestrian crossing between the two parks. State Route 741 has a posted speed limit of 55 miles per hour and limited sight distance, creating a significant barrier for families, youth athletes, and other visitors attempting to travel between the sites. The proposed tunnel will provide a safe, grade-separated crossing and connect directly to the existing path systems on both sides of the roadway. This connection will allow families visiting the Warren County Sports Park to easily access the additional amenities at Armco Park, including the golf course, boat dock, fishing areas, and picnic shelters—significantly expanding recreation opportunities and enhancing the value of the Sports Park as a regional tournament destination. Beyond improving safety and access between the two parks, the project will serve as a key link in a broader regional trail network. The connection will support access to nearby neighborhoods including Shaker Run and Union Village, as well as Otterbein SeniorLife. It is also part of a long-term plan to connect Otterbein, Armco Park, and the Sports Park to Downtown Lebanon, the Lebanon Countryside Trail, and ultimately the Little Miami Scenic Trail. By eliminating a major roadway barrier and linking two of Warren County’s most heavily used recreational assets, this project will improve safety, expand recreation access, and strengthen the region’s growing outdoor recreation economy.

  • Spring Grove Village Community Center Renovation
    • Recipient: City of Cincinnati
    • Funding Request: $750,000
    • Description: This project will convert the historic Matthew United Church of Christ building into a new community center after the loss of Harmony Lodge, the neighborhood’s former gathering and event space. Built in 1911 and located in the community’s central business district, the church building has been offered for donation and will be renovated to serve as a community hub. The project will transform the chapel and basement space into areas for community meetings, youth programming, arts and music events, wellness activities, and private gatherings, supported by a commercial kitchen for community meals and fundraisers. The space also includes a parsonage that will be converted into two affordable housing units. Renovations will include façade improvements, energy-efficient upgrades, HVAC replacement, and window repairs to modernize the aging structure. Once completed, the project will restore a central community gathering place while supporting youth engagement and neighborhood revitalization.

  • Peaslee Neighborhood Center Renovation Project
    • Recipient: The Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority
    • Funding Request: $2,500,000
    • Description: The Peaslee Neighborhood Center Renovation Project is coordinated approach ensures that families and residents can access the resources they need to thrive in one central location. The project will include two of OTRCH’s existing multi-family buildings at 1930 and 1931 Vine Street, where OTRCH manages affordable housing that is past its useful life, and, without the insertion of new capital, are at risk of losing their affordability. While the project involves a mix of different sites and housing types, one theme that remains consistent throughout is the introduction and preservation of new affordable housing at a critical time for the City of Cincinnati and each neighborhood, all of which have experienced significant investment and rising market pressures but limited additions of deeply affordable units of housing. By adding family-oriented housing on sites surrounded by transit, schools, parks, and community assets, the project helps ensure long-time residents can remain and benefit from neighborhood investments and improvements.

Community Project Funding Requests

Each year, the Community Project Funding process allows members of Congress to accept applications for local projects in need of funding assistance, review those projects, and then submit projects to the House Appropriations Committee for possible inclusion in the federal government budget. In FY27, the House Appropriations Committee is permitting 20 project submissions per office.

The Community Project Funding process is highly competitive, open only to select entities as determined each year by the House Appropriations Committees, requires projects to meet eligibility requirements outlined by the House Appropriations Committee, and is primarily for projects in need of funding for capital expenses. Please note that there is no guarantee that Community Project Funding requests submitted to our office will be selected for consideration by the House Appropriations Committee, nor does consideration by the House Appropriations Committee guarantee they will be funded.

Our office’s deadline for Community Project Funding Applications for FY27 is 5 PM on March 13th, 2026. Once our office’s submission deadline for FY27 CPF requests closes, our office will then take time to review each project to determine which projects will be selected to move forward in the process, after which we will announce which projects have been selected. For those projects that are selected to move forward in the process, we may follow up to request additional information that will be needed to officially submit the project for consideration to the House Appropriations Committee for them to review and determines if a project will be included in the federal government budget.

Please be aware that the disbursal of Community Project Funding to approved projects is dependent upon Congressional passage of the Appropriations bills and the president’s signing of the Appropriations bills. After that has happened, each federal agency has its own timeline for disbursing Community Project Funding, which can take several months. It is safe to assume that it could take between 12-18 months between the time a project is submitted to our office, until funding is disbursed from the federal agencies – however, that is just a rough timeline. Average grant sizes range from $850,000 – $1,000,000. We encourage you to look at grants awarded in past cycles, which you can find linked at the top of this page.

NOTE: Like the past two years, the Appropriations Committee’s Majority has chosen to severely restrict applications from nonprofits. In particular, applications for the Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development bill’s Economic Development Initiatives (EDI) account is limited to only government entities. Please closely review the guidance to determine if your application is eligible for the account you are applying for. If you are a nonprofit interested in the EDI account with an otherwise eligible application, we encourage you to proceed with an application. If our office is able to move forward with your application, we will assist with securing a sponsoring government entity to oversee the funds.

You can access our office’s CPF Application Form here: https://forms.gle/tLWdw78qKm71Z4Pe8

Below you can find guidance that breaks down the different accounts under which our office can secure funding. We encourage you to read through the different sets of guidance to determine what your entity may be eligible for. In past cycles, the most commonly applied for accounts were the Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development bill’s Economic Development Initiatives (EDI) accounts, the infrastructure accounts under that bill, and the Commerce, Justice, and Science bill’s COPS and Byrne Justice accounts.
