Bringing Funding to Our Community

Every Congressional district is unique and each one has unique, specific needs that the Congressional funding process doesn't always address. That's why I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to champion fifteen local projects for funding consideration by the House of Representatives.

Last year, I brought home more than $10 million for local community projects from providing healthcare for those most in need to protecting drivers, pedestrians, and commuters. I am proud to once again leverage my knowledge of our community to make sure federal dollars end up where they are needed most.

Learn more about the projects I am supporting below and see the full list on my website HERE.

Rep. Quigley during visits to the Shedd Aquarium (left) and Field Museum (right).

Shedd Aquarium Pathways to Environmental Education

• This project will allow Shedd Aquarium to advance equitable STEAM learning opportunities for students across the Chicago area by advancing physical, digital, and financial access to learning experiences for 90,000 K-8th grade students. Shedd learning programs intentionally bridge science education with outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship experiences to help youth navigate the process of accessing and appreciating the natural world, leading to greater awareness of their relationship with nature and the impact of their actions on animals and their habitats.
• Requested amount: $595,025

Field Museum Air System Upgrade

• This project will allow the Field Museum to replace the museum's nearly 50-year-old air handling system to reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and utility bills and to improve indoor air quality for Museum staff and visitors.
• Requested amount: $1,500,000

Howard Brown Health Halsted Street Dental Clinic

• This project will allow Howard Brown Health to provide clinical equipment, furniture, fixtures, technology solutions, and safety systems to expand Halsted's capacity for providing care. This flagship clinic will drastically increase Howard Brown's capacity to provide high-quality affirming medical, behavioral, and dental care regardless of patients' ability to pay.
• Requested amount: $1,110,000

Lake View YMCA Aquatics Expansion

• This project will allow Lake View YMCA to convert two underutilized racquetball courts adjacent to an existing pool to create a second pool, enhancing opportunities for lessons, water exercise classes, swim team practice and lap and open swim for residents of Lake View and surrounding communities. The Lake View YMCA seeks to meet the growing demand for its aquatics programming and increase access to its life-saving swimming and water safety lessons by expanding its pool facilities.
• Requested amount: $1,500,000

As a member of the Appropriations Committee and Chair of FSGG, I am committed to fighting for these projects – and our entire district – until every need in our community is fully met.

Sincerely,

Mike Quigley
