Abstract: This application will be used to request participation in the TARP Community Development Capital Initiative (CDCI). Under the CDCI, the U.S. Department of the Treasury may purchase qualifying assets from U.S. banking organizations that are certified Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI). Any bank, savings association, bank holding company, savings and loan holding company, and low-income designated credit union is eligible to participate if it is (i) certified by the Treasury's CDFI Fund as a CDFI; (ii) regulated by a Federal banking or credit union agency; and (iii) organized under the laws of the United States. Financial institutions that are controlled by a foreign entity will not be eligible. Additionally, CDFIs that have participated in and have outstanding obligations under the TARP Capital Purchase Program (CPP) may apply to request an exchange of securities purchased under CPP by Treasury, for securities to be issued to Treasury under the CDCI. Eligibility to participate in the CDCI solely for purposes of exchanging outstanding obligations under CPP shall occur without regard to whether the institution seeks to participate in the CDCI for purposes of receiving additional capital. Institutions seeking additional capital under the CDCI shall submit a separate application for that purpose.

Emergency Justfication: Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) provide vital financial services specifically targeted at underserved low- and moderate-income communities that have been hardest hit by the current economic downturn. CDFIs play a unique role in their local markets – unlike with traditional banks, communities served by CDFIs may not see new entrants if existing CDFIs continue to struggle or even withdraw from the market. Withholding public support of CDFIs under anomalous economic conditions would reverse decades of gains they have made in communities. Deploying TARP funds through the Community Development Capital Program (CDCP) alongside private capital will help CDFIs bridge this difficult environment and continue serving the disadvantaged communities in which they have developed unique expertise. Due to timing limitations on EESA’s statutory authority, the CDCP application window for interested participants will only be open for one month and funding will have to occur by September 30, 2010. Therefore, we are requesting emergency clearance to expedite the program launch.
