FY 2027 CPF Projects:
Congressman Moulton has submitted funding requests for Community Improvement Projects across the Sixth District. The funding requests were submitted to the House Committee on Appropriations for consideration and inclusion in the federal spending bills for Fiscal Year 2027.
Under guidelines issued by the Committee, each Representative may request funding for community projects for obligation in fiscal year 2027- although only a handful may actually be funded. Projects are restricted to specific accounts with differing eligibility.
In compliance with House Rules and Committee requirements, Rep. Moulton has certified that he, his spouse, and his immediate family have no financial interest in any of the projects he has requested.
In no particular order, here is a list of the projects Rep. Moulton has submitted for FY27:

Lynn Health and Wellness Campus: Urgent Care Expansion
Recipient: Lynn Community Health Center (LCHC)
269 Union St, Lynn, MA 01901
Request Amount: $2,000,000
This funding will enable LCHC to significantly expand and modernize its Urgent Care services, effectively doubling current capacity. Demand for timely, accessible care continues to grow, placing increasing strain on both the existing urgent care facility and the nearest hospital’s emergency department, where patient volumes regularly exceed capacity. As a result, many non-emergent cases are diverted to higher-cost emergency settings, driving up costs, increasing wait times, and delaying care for patients with true medical emergencies.
Over the next three years, the Lynn Health and Wellness Campus will be transformed to meet these needs, with the capacity to serve up to 25,000 additional patients, support 115 new providers and staff, and integrate state-of-the-art technology, all while remaining adaptable to an evolving healthcare landscape.

93 Washington Street, Salem, MA 01970
Request Amount: $1,000,000
The funding would be to replace Roof Top HVAC Units for Witchcraft Heights Elementary School.
