On Wednesday, Congressman Adam Schiff announced he is requesting nearly $15.4 million in the fiscal year 2023 federal government funding legislation for critical housing, homelessness support, employment, public safety, public health, and education projects throughout Burbank, Glendale and Los Angeles.

In the FY22 federal government spending package, Schiff was able to secure nearly $8 million for 10 health, housing, education, and cultural programs in CA-28.

For FY23, Schiff is requesting federal funding for the following community projects:

• $2.2 million for the YWCA of Glendale and Pasadena to address campus improvements and repairs, expand the domestic violence shelter, and increase its capacity to serve more victims of domestic violence who are experiencing homelessness.
