Mr. GARCIA of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the passage of this year's omnibus spending bill and to express my excitement for the community project funding the Fourth Congressional District of Illinois will receive.

These crucial funds, totaling over $10 million, will expand affordable housing; improve access to healthcare; support violence prevention and counseling; and even build an enclosure around a community swimming pool, an absolute must-have in the windy city.

Working class, immigrant neighborhoods like mine have never gotten the kind of investment and resources that other neighborhoods enjoy.

I started as an activist to change that, to bring resources to my community, and I am proud to announce that this vital funding package will transform countless lives.
