In December 2023, the CDFI Fund released its eagerly anticipated updates to the application process for the industry’s most critical credential: CDFI certification.
Over the past several years, Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) has been a strong advocate for changes that strengthen the community development mission and responsible lending requirements. After working with our members to weigh in on several reform proposals to modernize CDFI certification, the revised application is here.
Now, the CDFI industry must turn its attention to implementation and recertification. Join OFN and the CDFI Fund’s Jeff Merkowitz, Senior Advisor, and Michelle Dickens, Program Manager, Office of Certification, Policy and Evaluation for a webinar to learn more about the revisions and timeline for implementation, and to answer the industry’s most pressing questions.
