According to Senate Rule XLIV, a CDS is a provision “included primarily at the request of a Senator providing, authorizing, or recommending a specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan, loan guarantee, grant, loan authority or other expenditure with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific State, location or Congressional district, other than through a statutory or administrative formula-driven or competitive award process.”

Important note: Every CDS form has information at the start of the questionnaire outlining what activities are eligible within each appropriations account. It is recommended to read this information very carefully. Ineligible requests will not be considered.

As a reminder, Senator Padilla's office requires that all Community Project Funding requests have demonstrated support from both local community government leaders as well as broader regional government leaders.

Interested Parties will need to submit:

1. At least one letter or resolution from a local elected government entity. This includes mayors, city councils/majority of council members, special districts, school board, etc.

AND

1. At least one letter or resolution from a regional elected government entity. This includes county board of supervisors/majority of county supervisors, member of the state legislature, state constitutional officer, or the Governor.

Programmatic/Language Requests:

These types of requests are general funding requests for national and regional programs, and/or bill and report language requests that directs, encourages, or urges an Agency or Department to carry out an action.

Programmatic Funding and Report Language Request Form

Important note: If you are making a request for Programmatic Funding/Report Language in one of the bills that has yet to be passed in FY24 (FSGG, Homeland Security, LHHS, and SFOPS), please wait to submit your request until the conferenced FY24 version of these bills is released in the following weeks in order to be able to fully complete the form.

The Defense Appropriations Form is still forthcoming.
