CRP funding opportunities

The Community Reinvestment Program (CRP) received $60 million for 2025–2027—including $50 million in new funds and up to $10 million in reallocated funds from the previous biennium.

Commerce is directed to distribute funds for the program areas listed in RCW 43.79.567: Community reinvestment account, in similar proportions to the 2023-2025 investment areas.

The legislature also defined by-and-for organizations in the Community Reinvestment Account for 2025-2027. This includes, but is not limited to, those operated by and for Black, Latine, Native American, Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities.
