Defense Community Infrastructure Program Revisions Act
Coast Guard: Infrastructure Grant Expansion

Legislative Progress
Most bills introduced in Congress do not become law unless they are part of a larger spending package or have massive support from leadership.
Key Points
- This bill would allow towns and cities near Coast Guard bases to apply for federal grants to improve their local infrastructure. These grants help pay for things like better roads, schools, and emergency services that support both the military and the local community.
- Right now, the Coast Guard is often left out of this specific grant program because it falls under the Department of Homeland Security instead of the Department of Defense. This change would make sure Coast Guard communities get the same support as those near other military branches.
- To make sure the money is spent well, the Secretary of Defense would have to get approval from the head of the Coast Guard before picking which projects to fund. This ensures that the most important local needs are met first.
