📢NCN Policy Update📢
♦️ After a year-long delay, NCN confirmed that OMB will apportion to Treasury the remaining $289 million in Congressionally authorized FY 2025 funding for the CDFI Fund.

♦️The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced upcoming rule changes related to CDFI Fund awards under federal law (PRWORA), aimed at ensuring compliance with eligibility requirements for federally funded benefits.

Treasury also signaled new requirements for certified CDFIs, including updates to funding agreements that reinforce compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws. This would require CDFIs to adopt and maintain policies and procedures aligned with these standards.
