2010. Applications must meet all
eligibility and other requirements and
deadlines, as applicable, set forth in this
NOFA. Applications received after 5
p.m. ET on May 5, 2010 will be rejected.
Executive Summary: Subject to
funding availability, this NOFA is
issued in connection with the FY 2010
funding round of the BEA Program. The
BEA Program is administered by the
Community Development Financial
Institutions (CDFI) Fund. The BEA
Program encourages Insured Depository
Institutions to increase their levels of
loans, investments, services, and
technical assistance within Distressed
Communities, and financial assistance
to CDFIs through grants, stock
purchases, loans, deposits, and other
forms of financial and technical
assistance, during a specified period.
I. Funding Opportunity Description
A. Baseline Period and Assessment
Period dates: A BEA Program award is
based on an Applicant’s increases in
Qualified Activities from the Baseline
Period to the Assessment Period. For the
FY 2010 funding round, the Baseline
Period is calendar year 2008 (January 1,
2008 through December 31, 2008), and
the Assessment Period is calendar year
2009 (January 1, 2009 through December
31, 2009).
B. Program regulations: The
regulations governing the BEA Program
can be found at 12 CFR part 1806 (the
Interim Rule) and provide guidance on
evaluation criteria and other
requirements of the BEA Program. The
CDFI Fund encourages Applicants to
review the Interim Rule. Detailed
application content requirements are
found in the application related to this
NOFA. Each capitalized term in this
NOFA is more fully defined either in
the Interim Rule or the application.
C. Qualified Activities: Qualified
Activities are defined in the Interim
Rule to include CDFI Related Activities,
Distressed Community Financing
Activities, and Service Activities (12
CFR 1806.103(nn)). CDFI Related
Activities include Equity Investments,
Equity-Like Loans, and CDFI Support
Activities (12 CFR 1806.103(r)).
Distressed Community Financing
Activities (12 CFR 1806.103(u)) include
Affordable Housing Loans, Affordable
Housing Development Loans and related
Project Investments; Education Loans;
Commercial Real Estate Loans and
related Project Investments; Home
Improvement Loans; and Small
Business Loans and related Project
Investments. Service Activities (12 CFR
1806.103(nn)) include Deposit

Financial Services, and Targeted Retail
Savings/Investment Products.
When calculating BEA Program award
amounts, the CDFI Fund will count only
the amount that an Applicant
reasonably expects to disburse for a
Qualified Activity within 12 months
from the end of the Assessment Period.
Subject to the requirements outlined in
Section VII. B.1. of this NOFA, in the
case of Commercial Real Estate Loans
and CDFI Related Activities, the total
principal amount of the transaction
must be $10 million or less to be
considered a Qualified Activity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CDFI
Fund, in its sole discretion, may
consider transactions with a total
principal value of over $10 million,
subject to review. Qualified Activities
funded with prior funding round Award
dollars shall not constitute a Qualified
Activity for the purposes of calculating
or receiving an Award.
D. Designation of Distressed
Community: Each CDFI Partner that is
the recipient of CDFI Support Activities
from an Applicant must designate a
Distressed Community. CDFI Partners
that receive Equity Investments are not
required to designate Distressed
Communities. Applicants applying for a
BEA Program award for carrying out
Distressed Community Financing
Activities or Service Activities must
verify that addresses of both Baseline
and Assessment Period activities are in
Distressed Communities when
completing their application. Please
note that a Distressed Community as
defined by the BEA Program is not
necessarily the same as an Investment
Area as defined by the CDFI Program or
a Low-Income Community as defined by
the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC)
Program.
1. Definition of Distressed
Community: A Distressed Community
must meet certain minimum geographic
area and distress requirements, which
are defined in the Interim Rule at 12
CFR 1806.103(t) and more fully
described in 12 CFR 1806.200.
2. Designation of Distressed
Community: A CDFI Partner (as
appropriate) shall designate an area as a
Distressed Community by:
(a) Selecting Geographic Units which
individually meet the minimum area
eligibility requirements; or
(b) selecting two or more Geographic
Units which, in the aggregate, meet the
minimum area eligibility requirements
set forth in paragraph (1) of this section
provided that no Geographic Unit
selected by the Applicant within the
area has a poverty rate of less than 20
percent.
