Every year, Congress is responsible for allocating overall funding for offices, programs, and grants administered by the federal government. As your Representative in Congress, Rep. Escobar has the opportunity to advocate on behalf of programs that are important to Texas’ 16th Congressional District. For example, Rep. Escobar can advocate to maintain or increase the total funding for federal grants, agencies, and programs that support El Paso’s infrastructure and transportation priorities, Fort Bliss’ defense needs, and the health, safety, and and economic prosperity of all El Pasoans.

Fiscal Year '26 Community Project Funding Requests - Community Project Funding requests are in addition to the general programmatic and language-based requests.
Previous Community Project Funding Requests - Since the start of Community Projects Funding in Fiscal Year 2022, I have been able to secure funding for 38 community projects, bringing back to El Paso nearly $56 million directly to our cities and towns, our schools, our universities, nonprofits, and companies.
