Congress appropriates resources for specifically named community water infrastructure projects identified as Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) and Community Project Funding (CPF) items (Community Grants) in Appropriations Acts. Funding is provided in the State and Tribal Assistance Grants (STAG) account for these drinking water, wastewater, stormwater infrastructure, and water quality protection Community Grants projects.

These projects provide a valuable source of federal funding for water infrastructure that will complement the resources Congress provided in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the annual appropriations process.
