Policy Area 4: Supporting Federal Financing Programs

To support the ongoing ability of the federal government to offer these programs, CDFA has established the following priorities to support in 2012:

1. Support and work with industry partners to extend and permanently reauthorize the highly popular and successful federal New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program

2. Support and work with industry partners to extend and permanently reauthorize the successful and growing Immigrant Investor Program, more commonly known as EB-5

3. Firmly establish the Federal Economic Development Finance Working Group as a collaborative initiative between public, private and non-profit institutions in the development finance industry

4. Update, on an ongoing basis, the CDFA Federal Financing Clearinghouse for CDFA members to access information on all federal development finance programs

5. Support the programming and funding efforts of the DOE, HUD, EDA, USDA, CDFI, SBA, DOL, EPA, and other federal agencies, as well as the efforts of the federal government to update and improve the programming offered by these agencies
