As we enter the New Year, it is a fitting time to chart out the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund’s (CDFI Fund’s) course for 2022. Much is happening behind the scenes at the CDFI Fund to open application rounds, finalize assistance agreements, and deploy new initiatives.

As 2020 comes to a close and we prepare to shift focus to 2021, I would like to highlight the recent substantial and important impact of Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and provide some important insights into CDFI Fund activities and priorities for the coming year.
