CDFI Fund to Hold Informational Conference Calls on CDFI Certification 

The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Community Development Financial
Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) will be conducting a series of conference
calls regarding CDFI Certification. These calls will serve as a forum
for potential certification applicants to ask questions of CDFI Fund
staff about becoming a certified CDFI. The schedule and instructions for
accessing the conference calls are outlined below. 

CDFI Certification Overview 
As part of the CDFI Program, the CDFI Fund certifies organizations as
community development financial institutions - or CDFIs. These
organizations provide financing and related services to communities and
populations that lack access to credit, capital and financial services.
To become certified, an organization must: be a legal entity, have an
eligible primary mission, be a financing entity, serve an eligible
Target Market, be accountable to the Target Market, provide
corresponding Development Services, and not be controlled by a
government entity. Among other benefits, CDFI certification allows
applicants to apply for Financial Assistance through the CDFI Program. 

Schedule 

*	Thursday, January 22, 2009 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. EDT

Indian Country Economic Stimulus Proposal

Tribal Letters to President-Elect Obama Needed ASAP

 

Call To Action: Letters to Obama on Economic Stimulus

 

NCAI has been working to ensure tribes are included in the upcoming Economic Stimulus bill and has put together a $5.4 billion proposal including infrastructure for tribal roads, schools, etc., as well as removing legal barriers to investment. Based on information gathered thus far, we are concerned about Indian Country needs getting the attention they deserve. We urgently need tribal leaders to send letters urging President Elect Obama to include Tribal governments in the Economic Stimulus/Recovery Package.

 

WHAT:                       Tribal Letters Addressed to Obama on Economic Stimulus

 

WHEN:                       By Wednesday January 14, 2009

 

SEND TO:                  President-Elect Barack Obama

                                    (2) The Indian Country Economic Stimulus Proposal

 

 

Background

 

The proposal was compiled in December at the direct request of the Obama Transition Team. NCAI held a series of meetings in DC and telephone meetings with tribal leaders, regional and national organizations. The Obama Team indicated strict guidelines our request had to meet, and those limitations largely framed what we were able to include. The proposal has been amended several times as additional input was provided by tribes and Congress.

 

As Native Americans comprise approximately 2% of the population, we focused on that division within the economic stimulus. The plan combines two essential areas (1) infrastructure investment (targeting "shovel-ready" projects) with (2) removing legal barriers to accessing capital necessary for tribal governments to leverage taxpayer funds and create more jobs for all of rural America.

 

Infrastructure Section: As requested by the Obama team, we focused on (1) pre-existing federal programs which are national in scope and fund tribal government infrastructure projects (no "earmark" projects) (2) programs which have projects which are ready to go in 120 days (have all of the planning work done, NEPA studies, etc.), and can be fully expended within 1-2 years, and, (3) will create substantial short and long term job growth. (All "lists" that are attached to the proposal are included only as examples of the types of projects that are in fact ready to go right now. The lists in general have already been created by the federal agencies through tribal consultation, and pre-agreed formulas.)

 

Access to Capital Section: These are all legal corrections whose need has long been acknowledged by the financial industry and Indian Country. Most each of these recommendations have already been introduced in Congress and are familiar to Tribal leaders. 

 

What Is Not Included

 

Infrastructure Section: This proposal does not include tribal specific individual projects ("earmarks"). By request, we only highlighted programs which benefit all tribes, and then provided examples of lists of projects within those programs that were "ready to go."  It is assumed that tribes will meet directly with their home Congressional delegations if they choose to advocate for specific projects. It also does not reference national programs in which tribes are already participants such as Food Stamps, Head Start, etc.

Subject: [CircleUp] Get the Native input in: USDA's Microentrepreneur &
	Rural Disabilities program developers ask for public input
Message-ID: <82182B01DBD600448F4C7D2631BA1BFE534FFB@SERVER1.fnoc.internal>

USDA Rural Development is seeking advice on how best to deliver two new

2008 Farm Bill programs -- Section 6022 (the "RURAL MICROENTREPRENEUR

ASSISTANCE PROGRAM", or RMAP) and Section 6023 ("GRANTS FOR EXPANSION OF

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES IN RURAL

AREAS" or EEOIDRA) of the Farm Bill.

 

Broad outlines of the program were provided by Congress, and this now

needs to be fleshed out and put into action.

 

A brief description of the RMAP program can be found here:

http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/or/biz/RMAPoverview.pdf

 

A brief description of the EEOIDRA program can be found by going to

Section 6023 of the Farm Bill (which starts on page 757): 

http://www.usda.gov/documents/Bill_6124.pdf

 

 

Details on this request for input is contained in a national RD press

release, which can be viewed in its original form at: 

http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/rd/newsroom/2009/20090114%20microentrep%20and

%20disability%20news%20release.pdf

USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT TO SEEK INPUT ON MICROENTREPRENEUR ASSISTANCE 

AND EXPANDED JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES

January meeting to address provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill

 

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14, 2009 - Acting Agriculture Under Secretary for Rural

Development Douglas L. Faulkner today announced that the Agency plans to

hold a public meeting later this month on ways to expand rural business

opportunities.  

 

"This meeting will enable members of the public, rural business owners

and stakeholders to share their ideas about the best ways to meet the

job needs of rural Americans," Faulkner said.

 

The meeting will focus on a newly created microentrepreneur assistance

program and an initiative to increase business and employment

opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Both initiatives are

included in the provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill. The Rural

Microentrepreneur Assistance Program will provide loans and grants to

microenterprises that are unable to obtain other financial assistance.

Separately, technical assistance and educational resource grants will be

provided to help rural small businesses recruit and employ individuals

with disabilities and expand entrepreneurship

opportunities for them in rural areas.  The public meeting will be held

January 26th from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in room 107-A of the Whitten

Building, U. S. Department of Agriculture, 12th and Jefferson Drive

S.W., Washington, D.C. Registration will start at 12:30 p.m.

Pre-registration is strongly encouraged.

 

Written comments on the referenced Sections of Title VI will be accepted

up to 15 days following the date of the public meeting. Individuals who

wish to speak or make a presentation at the meeting should contact Lori

Washington at: USDA Rural Development, Room 6866 South Building, Mail

STOP 3225, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20250-3225:

(202) 720-9815; e-mail to: lori.washington at wdc.usda.gov

 

 

 

 

Thanks for your interest in helping RD help rural America.

Economic Stimulus Legislation Taking Shape

<http://capwiz.com/idanetwork/utr/1/GRWLJPRKER/DRKTJPSZWI/2791459091> 

Take Action!
<http://capwiz.com/idanetwork/utr/1/GRWLJPRKER/DRKTJPSZWI/2791459091> 

Draft Proposals Invests in Low-Income Individuals & Communities

 

The House of Representatives Appropriations Committee Chairman's
<http://capwiz.com/idanetwork/utr/1/GRWLJPRKER/BWXNJPSZWJ/2791459091>
draft legislation
<http://capwiz.com/idanetwork/utr/1/GRWLJPRKER/MDAJJPSZWK/2791459091>
and the House Ways and Means Committee Chairman's draft legisation
<http://capwiz.com/idanetwork/utr/1/GRWLJPRKER/LQHZJPSZWL/2791459091>
was released on January 15.

The bill states, "in the last four months the country has lost 2 million
jobs and we are expected to lose another 3 to 5 million in the next
year."  Appropriators rely upon a number of traditional community
economic development, housing and economic development programs to blunt
the impact of a declining economy.

The nearly $850 billion economic stimulus is expected to include $550
billion in domestic spending and $300 billion in tax cuts.  If enacted,
the bill could include numerous opportunities for low-income families
and communities:


Community development

*	Make Work Pay tax credit of $500 for individuals and $1,000 for
couples including self-employed individuals
*	Expands the EITC
*	Refundable college education credit of $2,500
*	Community Development Fund ($1 billion)
*	Community Stabilization competitive grant process for nonprofits
and local governments ($3.4 billion)
*	Community Services Block Grant ($1 billion)
*	Americorps ($160 milion)

 Economic development

*	Economic Development Administration ($250 million)
*	Rural community facilities direct loans ($1.1 billion) and
grants ($137 million)
*	Workforce Investment Act ($4 billion including Summer Jobs for
Youth ($1.2 billion) and YouthBuild ($50 billion)
*	Rural business and industry guaranteed loans ($2 billion)

 Housing

*	Repeal the repayment provision for the $7,500 homeownership
credit
*	502 rural housing loans ($22 billion)
*	Weatherization including $10,000 subsidies for 100,000 pre-1976
manufactured home units ($6.2 billion)
*	Low Income Housing Energy Assistance ($1 billion)
*	Public Housing Capital Fund ($5 billion)

*	Native American Housing Block grants ($500 million)

*	HOME ($1.5 billion)

Participation for Low-Income Families & Communities
<http://capwiz.com/idanetwork/utr/1/GRWLJPRKER/OSYMJPSZWM/2791459091> 


Advocates for asset-building, affordable and attractive manufactured
housing, community economic development, and low-income advocates should
plan to ensure their communities participate.

Make plans now to have "shovel ready projects." The bill sets goals
<http://capwiz.com/idanetwork/utr/1/GRWLJPRKER/LXHRJPSZWN/2791459091> to
use funds quickly including: 

*	At least 50% of the funds should be for activities that can be
initiatived no later than 120 days after passage
*	Formula grants will be awarded no later than 30 days and 
*	Competitive grants should be awarded not later than 90 days
after enactment.

Next Steps

There will be numerous steps before the bill is passed.  The appropriate
committees in the House and Senate need to finalize and enact their
legislation before sending it to the full floor of both bodies for
passage, reconcilliation and a Presidential signature.  Legislative
leaders hope to have the final bill passed by mid-February.

________________________________

Dear Stewart,

Your letters over the last month have helped to get a funding allocation for CDFIs included in the Senate Stimulus Bill!  

We still need your help to ensure that it remains in the legislation as it moves through Congress. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan will be marked up tomorrow by the Senate Appropriations committee.  Included in this stimulus legislation is $250 million for CDFIs. <http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=omKEwfaGbKsiHWp4c9rLFnUYu3oK9GFN>   It is critical that these provisions remain in the Senate legislation as they are currently not included in the House version of the legislation.

Please join us in asking your Senators to support CDFIs through the Stimulus Bill by sending them a letter. <http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=sRmewooY7hSEYLng1EJQGchyvT0iUJr3>   We have provided a suggested letter below. Please take a few minutes to personalize your message by adding information about the challenges facing your organization and how this program will help your community.  With your help we are moving closer to securing valuable resources to those who have suffered the most from this current financial crisis.

It only takes a minute to fill out your address and push send! You can take action by clicking here. <http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=o5WE6mbmkv1RIdWTspYkbchyvT0iUJr3>
