On November 1, 2017, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) opened the fiscal year (FY) 2018 application period for the CDFI Bond Guarantee Program.  A total of up to $500 million in bond guarantee authority is available to eligible Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) in FY 2018, pending Congressional authorization.

To provide a forum to applicants of the CDFI Bond Guarantee Program, the CDFI Fund will conduct two one-hour conference calls to answer questions about the application. The calls are not an application workshop or training and no presentation will be given during the calls; only questions from potential applicants will be addressed.
