Summary of March 4, 2009 NCUA & Federation Community Development Capital Initiative Conference Call


“This is a very unique opportunity and we would like to see as many credit unions apply for it as possible.”

-NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz-


On March 4, 2010 the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions (Federation) hosted a joint conference call for credit unions from across the country to discuss the Treasury Department’s Community Development Capital Initiative.  Participants were welcomed by NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz and Federation President/CEO Cliff Rosenthal. 

Summary

  • Credit unions with both low-income designation and CDFI Certification may apply for long-term, secondary capital loans from Treasury Department’s Community Development Capital Initiative (CDCI).
  • CDCI loans will be in the form of secondary capital, deeply subordinated debt that is counted as net worth.
  • Eligible credit unions can apply for amounts of up to 3.5% of their total assets.
  • Treasury has sufficient funding available for all eligible and qualifying credit unions that apply within the strict time frames listed in the table below.
  • NCUA has a limited number of Technical Assistance Grants for credit unions to develop the required Secondary Capital Plans by May 3rd.
