Congressman James Moylan announced the passage of the fiscal year 2026 federal funding package, which ends the partial government shutdown and provides funding for 96 percent of federal agencies. With 11 out of 12 appropriations bills now enacted, most federal operations are funded through September 30, 2026. Funding for the Department of Homeland Security is temporarily extended until February 13 as Congress works to complete the last bill.
“With nearly all federal funding bills enacted, we’ve brought certainty back to government operations and avoided prolonged disruption,” said Congressman Moylan. “That progress also reinforces the work already done to secure federal investments that directly benefit Guam’s communities.”
The FY2026 appropriations include several projects in Guam under different categories:
Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS) Appropriations:
– $1,025,000 for the Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency to acquire modern inspection equipment
– $990,500 for the Guam Police Department to purchase new patrol vehicles
– $538,505 for a mobile command system for Guam Customs and Quarantine
Agriculture Appropriations:
– $1.5 million allocated to Todu Guam’s Wellness Center
– $990,000 granted to WestCare to support a homeless shelter and transitional housing services
– $689,206 provided for the Chalan Pago-Ordot Multipurpose/Emergency Shelter
– $112,500 designated for emergency response vehicles and equipment for the Guam Fire Department
MILCON VA Appropriations:
– $50 million assigned for Defense Access Roads. This funding aims to improve transportation infrastructure affected by military activity and supports both national defense needs and daily use by residents.
“These projects reflect the full picture of public safety,” Moylan added. “Strong communities are safer communities.”
