CMF Clarification of Rules on Loan Loss Reserves and Loan Guarantees: Under CMF, Recipients may use their Award to establish Loan Loss Reserves or Loan Guarantees. Currently, CMF requirements related to Loan Loss Reserves and Loan Guarantees are limited. In order to ensure that these uses are properly addressed under the program: 1. What additional guidance and rules would be useful to Recipients and why? 2. Should there be a requirement for the establishment of escrows or restricted accounts for Loan Loss Reserves or Loan Guarantees? Please provide the rationale for your answer. 3. What coverage limits (i.e., percentage of loan covered in the event of borrower default) would be considered sound and reasonable and why? 4. What factors should be considered for proper and effective use of Loan Loss Reserves or Loan Guarantees and why? F. CMF Manufactured Housing Affordability Rules: Under CMF, manufactured housing that meets the federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards may be financed. Under the CMF Interim Rule at 12 CFR 1807.104, manufactured housing is defined as Single-family housing consisting of a combination of the manufactured housing and the lot, or a manufactured housing lot. Given the hybrid nature of manufactured housing Homeownership—where the unit is typically owned by an individual or Family, but the lot it sits on may be rented—the CDFI Fund is requesting input as to how best to measure the affordability of both the cost of the unit and the rental of the manufactured housing lot. 1. Currently, CMF only measures the cost of buying the manufactured housing unit. Should the cost of renting the lot also be considered as it relates to affordability? Please provide the rationale for your answer. 2. What are some ways to measure the affordability of both the price of the unit and the cost of renting the manufactured housing lot? 3. What additional guidance and rules would be useful as it relates to residentowned manufactured housing communities? 4. Are there additional points of clarification related to manufactured housing that should be considered? If yes, please describe them. G. CMF Funding for Assisted Living Facilities: CMF is a flexible program that affords Recipients the opportunity to finance a range of affordable housing types. As it relates to rental housing, projects are subject to a variety of VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:55 Jul 06, 2023 Jkt 259001 regulatory requirements, including tenant income determinations and rent limitations. While affordable assisted living projects are eligible uses of the Award under the CMF Interim Rule, the hybrid nature of assisted living—where rent generally includes both the cost of housing and services—often conflicts with the existing CMF limitations and restrictions. For example, the combination of the cost of rent and the services that are typical in assisted living projects may result in rent levels that do not meet the affordability requirements under the CMF regulations. 1. What challenges currently exist in using CMF Award funding to finance and/or develop assisted living facilities? 2. If there are challenges, describe how CMF Program requirements may be modified to better accommodate the development of assisted living projects, while ensuring that projects remain targeted and affordable to those with incomes that are Low-Income and below? Are there other federal or state programs that could provide an example of best practices in this area? If yes, please describe them. For example, could the cost of housing be separated from the cost of services, to accommodate CMF requirements? 3. What additional guidance and rules related to separating costs would be useful? 4. What is the demand to fund this type of housing with CMF Awards? 5. Are there additional points of clarification related to funding affordable assisted living facilities that should be considered? If yes, please describe them. H. CMF Affordable Homeownership Purchase Price Limitation Rules: The CMF Interim Rule sets the purchase price limitation for a Single-family home at 95% of the median purchase price for the area, as used in the HOME program (12 CFR 1807.402(a)(2)). 1. Should the CDFI Fund use a different index or indices to set purchase price limits for affordable owner-occupied housing? If yes, please identify and describe them. 2. Should utilizing underwriting criteria rather than sales price limits be an alternative? Please describe the rationale for your answer. 3. Are there any other specific barriers or limitations that may inadvertently discourage organizations from using CMF to support Homeownership activities? If yes, please describe them. 4. What are other changes to the CMF program that could foster greater use of CMF to support Homeownership activities? PO 00000 Frm 00154 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 I. CMF Economic Development Activities Compliance Requirements: CMF allows Recipients to use up to 30% of their Award for Economic Development Activities (EDA) in conjunction with Affordable Housing Activities (12 CFR 1807.302 (c)). These activities may include the development of community facilities, as well as the development/revitalization of commercial space. Under the current CMF Interim Rule, Economic Development Activities, unlike Affordable Housing, do not have a specific requirement that the EDA retain its eligible use for a minimum period. To ensure accountability, the CDFI Fund is considering requiring that EDA financed under a CMF Award maintain its eligible use for a minimum period of time. 1. Should CMF establish a minimum period of time that the EDA financed under a CMF Award maintain its eligible use? Please describe the rationale for your answer. 2. If yes, what would be a reasonable period of time, considering the Affordability Period for Affordable Housing is 10 years? Please describe the rationale for your answer. J. Participation of Regulated CDFIs in the CMF Program: Regulated CDFIs including banks, credit unions, and cooperatives are eligible to apply under CMF. The CDFI Fund is seeking input on how to foster greater participation by these regulated financial institutions. 1. Are there any specific barriers or limitations that may inadvertently discourage regulated CDFIs’ participation in CMF? If yes, please describe them. 2. What changes to CMF could foster greater participation from regulated CDFIs? 3. Should fostering greater participation from regulated CDFIs be a goal of CMF? Please describe the rationale for your answer. Authority: 12 CFR 1807; Public Law 110–289. Marcia Sigal, Acting Director, Community Development Financial Institutions Fund.
