Evidence
FY2026 Community Project Funding Submissions include requests for infrastructure-related projects such as Verdugo Communications Center Equipment Upgrades, PATH Villas - Infrastructure Improvements, Rose Bowl Water and Wastewater System Replacement, Burbank Water and Power Reservoir Replacement, and Central Park Library Reconstruction, each seeking direct federal investment for local community projects.
The office describes Community Project Funding as a process to request direct federal investment for projects that benefit the communities represented by the member, and provides instructions and deadlines for submitting FY26 requests.
On June 3, 2026, Friedman joined colleagues calling on DOJ and DOE to investigate the Canvas cyberattack and to provide expanded cybersecurity resources for schools, saying the breach showed the need to harden the education system's infrastructure.
The Congressional Record lists PATH Villas Hollywood—Infrastructure Improvements as a $850,000 HUD Community Development Fund project requested by Friedman, marked as House origination.
The current project-requests page lists FY2027 Community Project Funding submissions for multiple local infrastructure items, including PATH Villas - Infrastructure Improvements, Olive Avenue Bridge Replacement, Verdugo Communications Center Equipment Upgrades, Rose Bowl Water and Wastewater System Replacement, and Central Park Library Reconstruction.
The Congressional Record identifies PATH Villas Hollywood infrastructure improvements as an $850,000 HUD Community Development Fund project requested by Friedman and marked as House origination.
Assessments
The promise was to continue fighting to bring federal tax dollars back to the district for community infrastructure. Official Congressional Record evidence shows Laura Friedman requested and obtained inclusion of an $850,000 HUD Community Development Fund project for PATH Villas Hollywood infrastructure improvements, which is a concrete same-term federal infrastructure investment tied to her office. Additional office project-request filings and advocacy also show continuing effort, but the key delivery evidence is the documented funded local project.
Official-record evidence shows Friedman secured same-term federal funding for a local infrastructure project (PATH Villas Hollywood infrastructure improvements) and her office was actively pursuing additional community project funding. That is enough to count the promise as delivered in her current federal term, not merely attempted.
Friedman has taken concrete same-term steps to seek federal investment for local infrastructure through FY2026 Community Project Funding and appropriations requests, including water, wastewater, communications, library, and housing infrastructure projects. That supports candidate credit for actively fighting to bring federal tax dollars home, but the evidence does not show that the requested federal funds were actually awarded, enacted, or spent in the district. Because the promised outcome includes bringing dollars home for investment, the record supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
