Funding Community College Infrastructure Act

This bill authorizes $10 billion in federal grants (2026-2035) to fund infrastructure projects at public 2-year community colleges in underserved areas. It directly affects community colleges located in "qualified areas" (cities/counties without existing 2-year colleges or low-income communities) and their governing bodies, requiring grants to be used for specific purposes like building facilities, improving broadband, providing childcare/housing on campus, or expanding transportation access. Grants must cover at least 95% of project costs (e.g., construction, equipment), with priority given to new colleges in underserved regions and partnerships with high schools or 4-year institutions. The program mandates competitive applications and requires annual reports to Congress on how funds are used and which communities students serve.
