ICYMI: Shaheen Secures More than $100 Million for 85 New Hampshire Projects in Committee-Passed Bipartisan Government Funding Bills

(Washington, DC) – U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), a senior member of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee and Chair of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies, secured $100,404,000 in Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) for New Hampshire projects in the bipartisan Fiscal Year 2025 (FY 25) government funding bills recently passed by the Committee. The 85 different projects include investments to support affordable housing construction, bolster child care and early education programs, increase workforce development trainings, tackle the substance use disorder crisis and much more.

“By investing in local projects across New Hampshire, we can support programs that help Granite Staters afford housing, access child care, get workforce development training, attain the health care they need and so much more,” said Senator Shaheen. “As the annual government funding legislation moves into its next stage, I’ll keep fighting for these direct investments in our state and to ensure New Hampshire gets its fair share of resources.”

Shaheen secured $100,404,000 in Congressionally Directed Spending for the following 85 New Hampshire projects
