Summary

Community development financial institutions that get help from the Fund must keep the records the Fund requires so it can see how the help is used and confirm the rules are followed. The Fund will also require them to collect user information such as gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, and other relevant details to make sure targeted groups and low-income people in the area are served. The Fund can review those records at any time to check compliance. At least once a year the Fund will review each assisted institution’s plan, goals, and agreement terms. Each institution must file an annual report on its activities, finances, and progress. The Fund will post those reports for public view after removing private or business-sensitive information.
