Virtual TLR Office Hours for General Recertification

The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) will now host four (4) one-hour virtual office hour sessions to help CDFI Certification Applicants understand how to complete the Transaction Level Report (TLR). All organizations are required to submit a TLR as part of their CDFI Certification reapplication and then on an annual basis as part of their Annual Certification and Data Collection Report (ACR) submission package. 

The sessions will cover the purpose of the TLR, the TLR Address object, the Consumer Loan Report (CLR), the Loan Purchase object, the Financial Services object, and the Target Market Calculator. CDFI Fund staff will demonstrate how to add and upload data, identify data fields as well as provide tips for reducing errors and troubleshooting techniques.

The office hour sessions will be divided by industry type. Participants will have the opportunity to ask related questions. Registration is not required to participate in the sessions.
