are responsive to the evolving nature of
the CDFI industry, and protect
government resources. In May 2020, the
CDFI Fund requested public comment
on proposed revisions to the CDFI
Certification Application (Application)
and reporting requirements for Certified
CDFIs, including the introduction of the
Certification Transaction Level Report
(CTLR). As a result of comments
received during that public comment
period, the CDFI Fund made additional
revisions to the existing ACR, the new
CTLR and proposed Certification
Application.
The revised ACR, new CTLR,
certification policies, and Application
attempt both to provide the flexibility
necessary for CDFIs to grow and to serve
the hardest to reach distressed
communities, and to maintain the
integrity of what it means to be a
Certified CDFI from a mission
perspective. In addition, where existing
policy was considered appropriate,
changes were made to the Application
and guidance to provide greater
transparency and clarity around the
criteria that entities must meet to obtain
and maintain CDFI Certification.
