Over the past year, increased funding and enhanced recognition of the role Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) play in facilitating economic recovery, inclusion and opportunity in distressed and underserved communities has generated a dramatic increase in the number of organizations seeking Certification as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). In order to right-size expectations of the time needed to provide a decision, going forward, the CDFI Fund can no longer commit to providing determinations on CDFI Certification Applications and Target Market Modification applications within 90 days. The CDFI Fund will review and provide determinations as quickly as reasonable.
