SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: CDFI Bond Guarantee Program 

Qualified Issuer Application, Guarantee 

Application, and Secondary Loan 

Requirements. 

OMB Number: 1559–0044. 

Abstract: The purpose of the CDFI 

Bond Guarantee Program is to support 

CDFI lending by providing Guarantees 

for Bonds issued by Qualified Issuers as 

part of a Bond Issue for Eligible 

Community or Economic Development 

Purposes. The CDFI Bond Guarantee 

Program provides CDFIs with a new 

source of long-term capital and further 

the mission of the CDFI Fund to 

increase economic opportunity and 

promote community development 

investments for underserved 

populations and distressed communities 

in the United States. The CDFI Fund 

achieves its mission by promoting 

access to capital and local economic 

growth by investing in, supporting, and 

training CDFIs. 

Under the CDFI Bond Guarantee 

Program, an applicant apply to be 

approved as a Qualified Issuer (QI) by 

completing and submitting the 

Qualified Issuer Application (QI 

Application). A Qualified Issuer must 

submit a Guarantee Application in order 

to be approved for a Guarantee under 

the program. Applicants are required to 

provide financial and program related 

information and, subject to approval, 

will enter into agreements that require 

the collection of reports that will be 

used for credit underwriting, 

compliance monitoring and program 

evaluation purposes. The application 

information is required in order for 

program management to evaluate an 

applicant’s capacity to effectively 

execute its obligations under the Bond 

Documents. 

Compliance with the Secondary Loan 

Requirements is required for an Eligible 

CDFI to make a Secondary Loan through 

the program. It is by attesting to the 

Secondary Loan Requirements that the 

Eligible CDFI demonstrates and makes 

representations with regard to its 

organizational competence in the 

evaluation and underwriting of the 

operational and financial requirements 

of the proposed projects to which it 

desires to provide financial support 

using bond loan proceeds. 

Current Actions: Revision of a 

currently approved collection.

entities seeking to become Qualified 

Issuers.
