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.

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.
