In order to understand the requirements of CMF, including eligible uses of financial assistance grants, potential Applicants should review the Interim Regulations (12 C.F.R. 1807). In addition, potential Applicants should review and become familiar with the FY 2017 CMF Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) prior to beginning this Application.

This document provides a detailed explanation of how to apply for a CMF Award under the FY 2017 Round. It covers Applicant eligibility requirements, as well as the content and form for submitting an Application. Please be aware that the CDFI Fund reserves the right to request supplemental documentation verifying any of the information submitted in an Applicants FY2017 CMF Application.

Further, in order to be deemed eligible to apply for a CMF award, an organization must either:

As part of their Application, Nonprofit Organizations (that are not Certified CDFIs) will be required to submit supporting documentation to demonstrate these factors. The CDFI Fund reserves the right to collect additional information from all Applicants (regardless of entity type) in order to verify that they have each satisfied these requirements.

SAM registration is required before any Application can be successfully submitted via Grants.gov, and Applicants should allow ample time to complete the entire registration and submission process well in advance of the application deadline. The SAM website is: www.SAM.gov.

Please be advised that, in order to submit an application (in Grants.gov, as well as AMIS), an Applicant must have a current and valid Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and Employer Identification Number (EIN). The CDFI Fund advises Applicants to allow sufficient time to obtain this information. A DUNS number is required for SAM registration and for Grants.gov submission.

In order to apply, the Authorized Representative and Application point(s) of contact must be included as “Contacts” in the Applicant’s AMIS account. The Authorized Representative must also be a “user” in AMIS, and must electronically sign the application prior to submission through AMIS. An Applicant that fails to properly register and update its AMIS account may miss important communications from the CDFI Fund or fail to submit an Application successfully. Additional guidance on creating an AMIS account can be found on the AMIS Homepage: https://amis.cdfifund.gov/s/AMISHome.

For Information Technology, select “General Inquiry” for the record type and “CMF-AMIS technical problem” for the type. Failure to select the appropriate type for the Service Request could result in delays responding to your question.

If an Applicant has any questions related to the registration or submission process in Grants.gov or SAM.gov, it should contact these systems directly. The CDFI Fund does not manage Grants.gov or SAM.gov and is unable to respond to any questions related to these systems.

Grants.Gov (SF-424) INSTRUCTIONS

In accordance with federal regulations, the CDFI Fund requires Applicants to submit their FY 2017 CMF Program Application using the www.Grants.gov portal, the official website for federal grant information and applications. The Grants.gov registration process alone can take several days to complete. Contact the Grants.gov support staff if you have any questions about the process. The Grants.gov help desk can be reached at 1-800-518-4726 or via email at support@grants.gov. If you experience any technical difficulties submitting the Application via Grants.gov, do not contact the CDFI Fund. Contact the Grants.gov help desk instead.

The only component of the CMF Application submitted via Grants.gov is the Standard Form (SF)-424 Mandatory form. The SF-424 Mandatory Form (SF-424) is required for all Applicants. Electronically signing and submitting the SF-424 Mandatory Form certifies that the Applicant attests that the information in its CMF application is true, complete, and accurate, and also certifies that the Applicant will comply with the Assurances and Certifications, if an Award is made. The Assurances and Certifications are on Grants.gov. A copy has also been provided on pages 69-70 of this document. Details for completing the SF-424 Mandatory Form are provided below.

AMIS APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

AMIS Application Overview

The remainder of this document provides the full question text and related guidance for the information that should be entered into the CMF Online Application in AMIS. For technical details on how to use and navigate AMIS, see the “CMF Program Application Submission” manual at https://amis.cdfifund.gov/s/Training.

In order to submit an Application through AMIS, your organization must first have be registered in AMIS and have an Organizational Profile. For guidance on these issues, see “Getting Started – Navigating AMIS” at https://amis.cdfifund.gov/s/Training.

In order to facilitate the crosswalk between the online AMIS Application and this Question Text/Guidance document, here are a few tips:

Prepare narrative responses to questions outside of AMIS. Once your narratives are finalized, you can copy and paste the final versions into the appropriate fields in AMIS.
Prior to submitting the Application and required attachments through AMIS, be sure that the information is correct. The CDFI Fund will not accept any revisions or amendments to the CMF Application once they have been submitted.

Please be sure that all data entered into AMIS is accurate and complete. As part of the CMF Application review process, information entered in AMIS will be used to score and rank the Applicants (as outlined in the FY 2017 NOFA). Applicants will not be able to revise information entered into AMIS after Application submission. Failure to provide complete and accurate information may negatively impact the evaluation of an Applicant’s FY 2017 CMF Application. The CDFI Fund reserves the right to reject an Application if information submitted through AMIS is determined to be inaccurate.

AMIS is a Salesforce-based system, which at the present time has certain display limitations. In particular, AMIS can only display short question fields rather than full question text for certain Application questions. In order to facilitate the crosswalk between this Application guidance document and AMIS, each Application question in this document will be presented in a Table that contains the following information:

Full question text
Response
Notes/guidance relevant to that specific question or sub-question
AMIS Field Label (this is the field where you should enter your response in AMIS)
AMIS Field Type

We will also be providing an Excel workbook to help you prepare your application data for entry into AMIS.

AMIS Field Types

Below is an overview of the seven field types you will encounter in completing the Application in AMIS.

Auto-populated: These fields be will be automatically populated in AMIS based on other data inputs. No data entry is required for fields that are marked “auto-populated”.
Currency: These fields allow the Applicant to enter currency data points. They have a dollar sign in front and are formatted to two decimal places. For example, Total Eligible Project Costs: $10,000,000.00.
Look-up: These fields allow the Applicant to search and select data fields. For example, when entering geographic areas, the Applicant can “look-up” counties or states.
Narrative: These fields allow the Applicant to enter text (non-numeric data). These fields will also have a character limit as indicated in each question.
Numeric: These fields allow the Applicant to enter a number (that is not a dollar figure or a percentage). For example, the number of hours to complete the application: 100.
Percentage: These fields allow the Applicant to enter a percentage. For example, percentage of CMF Award that will be used as a Loan Loss Reserve: 23%.
Picklist: These fields allow the Applicant to select an option from a suite of choices (e.g. a dropdown of “Yes” or “No”).

Program Profile

Once you are registered as an organization in AMIS, the first step in completing the AMIS Application is to make sure your CMF Program Profile is up-to-date. You navigate to your CMF Program Profile from your Organization Page in AMIS. Click on the Program Profile Name (P-XXXXXX) to navigate to the CMF Record Type.

On the Program Profile, make sure the field “Organizational Attributes” is completed. You may select all organization types applicable to your organization. You can also select none, if none of the following apply. The options are listed below:

Question 14 – Enterprise-Level Leverage (if applicable) The questions below focus on the Applicant’s plans to leverage its CMF Award at the “Enterprise-level.” Leveraging the CMF Award at the “Enterprise-level” means using the CMF Award to raise additional capital for the organization that is not restricted to specific projects at the time it is raised. Enterprise-level leverage, can include but are not limited to Program-Related Investments (PRIs), loans from third parties, and the organization’s own contributed capital (equity or retained earnings). Enterprise-level leverage must be used to finance Eligible Project Costs. The Applicant only needs to respond to Questions 14(e), 14(f) and 14(g) if any of 14(a) – 14(c) are greater than 0. Here is an example of Enterprise-Level Leverage: An Applicant receives a $2 million CMF award and will leverage that 10 times to create a $20 million Affordable Housing Fund. The Affordable Housing Fund will be comprised of $2 million in CMF funding and $18 million in leveraged funds. Of the $18 million, $16 million is from private, third party sources ($15 million bank line of credit and $1 million foundation Program Related Investments (PRI)). The Affordable Housing Fund also includes $1 million from the city and the Applicant is contributing $1 million of their own funds. Only the bank loan and foundation investment would be counted as private, third party leverage. The total Enterprise-level Leverage in this example is $18 million.

Question 17 – Project-Level Leverage (if applicable) Project-level leverage can, among other things, include mortgages secured by the property, proceeds from the sale of bonds, equity investment raised through LIHTC, deferred developer fees, loans and grants from local and state government made directly to the Project. Project-level leverage does not include Enterprise-level funds or Reinvestments. Project-level leverage is the difference between the total Eligible Project Costs of the Project and the amount of financing or capital provided to the Project by the Applicant. Here are two examples: Example 1: The Applicant is using a CMF Award to support a multi-family rental project with total Eligible Project Costs of $2.5 million. In total, the Applicant will be providing $500,000 in financing from their own funds (Enterprise-level) and $500,000 from its CMF Award to the project. The amount of Project-level leverage is $1.5 million. Example 2: The Applicant is using a CMF Award to seed an Affordable Housing Fund that will provide soft second mortgages to Low-Income Families. This fund provides a second mortgage of $10,000 ($5,000 of their own funds and $5,000 in CMF) to a homebuyer to help finance a home purchase of $100,000. The amount of Project-level leverage is $90,000.

a. Describe the outcomes you expect will result from Affordable Housing Activities. Discuss how these outcomes will impact the community needs described in Q. 10(a) and how you will evaluate whether you are achieving these outcomes. Please cite any relevant studies or program evaluations which support that your proposed activities will achieve these outcomes.	Narrative – 5,000 character limit	CMF is encouraging Applicants to use an evidence-based approach in determining its strategy, anticipated outcomes and the impact that may result for the community or individuals and families. Outcomes typically measure the actual results or progress towards a goal (e.g., number of units developed; number of families able to buy their first home ) while impact looks at the improvements in the community or the lives of those served as a result of outcomes (e.g., neighborhood revitalization or better quality of life for individuals). Both outcomes and impact should demonstrate progress in addressing the identified community needs.	Housing Outcomes	Narrative
b. If you intend to finance Economic Development Activities, describe the outcomes (e.g., jobs created, etc.) and the impact you expect will result from your Economic Development Activities. Be sure to address the following: How these activities will impact the community needs described in Q. 10(a) How you will evaluate whether you are achieving these outcomes. The extent to which residents of the surrounding affordable housing will benefit. Please cite any relevant studies or program evaluations that support that your proposed activities will achieve these outcomes.	Narrative – 5,000 character limit	By definition, Economic Development Activities must be implemented In Conjunction With Affordable Housing Activities to implement a Concerted Strategy to stabilize or revitalize a Low-Income Area or Underserved Rural Area. Applicants intending to use a CMF Award to finance and support Economic Development Activities must meet these criteria. Please refer to Question #23 in the CMF Application FAQ document for the definition of and additional information on Low-Income Areas.	Economic Development Outcomes	Narrative
c. Will the Applicant commit that it will use its CMF Award to finance Economic Development Activities located only in Low-Income Areas?

If the Applicant is a Certified CDFI Depository Institution Holding Company that intends to carry out the activities of a CMF Award through its Certified CDFI Subsidiary Insured Depository Institution, it must provide track record information only for its Certified CDFI Subsidiary Insured Depository Institution that will administer the CMF Award. In AMIS, data for these tables will be entered by year in the “Financing Track Record” records in the “Track Record and Projections” related list.

Table E

Data entered in Table E should be based on the date the transaction closed. For example, if a construction loan closed on 2/13/2014, the total dollar amount of the construction financing provided by the Applicant would be included in the column for 2014. In the case where an Applicant is directly paying for its own project expenses, enter the dollar amount spent in each year for each relevant purpose. In Table E, only include capital deployed directly by the Applicant (not any Affiliates). However, it can NOT include any funds that were directly provided to the projects by third parties, Affiliates of the Applicant.

Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, and Other Responsibility Matters -- Primary Covered Transactions: Instructions for Certification

By signing and submitting this Application, the prospective primary participant (the Applicant) is providing the certification set out below.
The inability of a person to provide the certification required below will not necessarily result in the denial of participation in this covered transaction. The prospective Applicant shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below. The certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the CDFI Fund’s determination whether to enter into this transaction (approval and funding of the Application). However, failure of the Applicant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from participation in this transaction.
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance is placed when the CDFI Fund determines to enter into this transaction. If it is later determined that the Applicant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the CDFI Fund may terminate this transaction for cause or default.
The Applicant shall provide immediate written notice to the CDFI Fund if at any time the Applicant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
The terms “covered transactions,” “debarred,” “suspended,” “ineligible,” “lower tier covered transaction,” “participant,” “person,” “primary covered transaction,” “principal,” “proposal”, and “voluntarily excluded,” as used in this clause (certification), have the meanings set out in the Definitions and Coverage sections of the rules implementing Executive Order 12549. You may contact the CDFI Fund for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations (31 CFR part 19).
The Applicant agrees by submitting this Application that, should the proposed covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the CDFI Fund.
The Applicant further agrees by submitting this Application that it will include the clause titled “Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion-Lower Tier Covered Transaction,” to be provided by the CDFI Fund, without modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions (see 31 CFR part 19, Appendix B). A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals.
Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 6 of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the CDFI Fund may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, and Other Responsibility Matters -- Primary Covered Transactions

are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from covered transactions by any Federal department or agency;
