As the appropriations process continues to move forward, I will do everything in my power to ensure they make their way home to the people of the Fifth District.
Work to ensure the $13,103,920 in Community Project Funding for twenty projects across Missouri's Fifth Congressional District is enacted and delivered to the district.
Occurrences
Evidence
Latest News lists a June 26, 2026 release: Cleaver visited Heroes Home Gate Campus and presented an $850,000 federal investment for homeless veterans.
Cleaver's FY24 disclosure lists submitted district projects and says submission to the committee is not a guarantee of funding; Heroes Home Gate requested $2,300,000.
The law makes FY2024 appropriations and gives the explanatory statement effect; HUD EDI funds are for CPF/CDS projects in that statement's table.
The law states no rescission may come from amounts specified for CPF/CDS in the FY2024 explanatory-statement table and amends/adds to that table.
Section 1111 says FY2024 earmark, CPF, or CDS language has no legal effect for funds appropriated by the FY2025 continuing appropriations division.
Assessments
Cleaver formally pursued FY2024 Community Project Funding requests for district projects, and FY2024 appropriations laws enacted CPF/CDS funding mechanisms, supporting that he materially advanced the promised funding. There is also concrete same-term evidence of delivery activity for at least one related project, including an $850,000 federal investment presented for Heroes Home Gate Campus. However, the record provided does not verify that the full $13,103,920 across all twenty projects was enacted in the exact claimed amounts and delivered to recipients, and later appropriations language does not automatically prove carry-forward delivery. This supports partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
