Tribal community leaders, Native Community Development Financial Institutions (Native CDFIs), community development experts, and the general public still have time to submit comments on a proposed report to assess the state of access to capital and credit in Native Communities. Comments are due to the CDFI Fund by February 28, 2013.

The proposed report will provide policy-makers, Tribal governments, Tribal community organizations, and economic development practitioners with detailed analysis and quantitative research that can lead to actionable recommendations for improving access to capital and credit in Native Communities. The CDFI Fund is soliciting comments that will help determine the focus and mission of the report, as well as influence its methodology.

For more information, including comment submission instructions, please review the Federal Register Notice from November 30, 2012.
