Title: Troubled Asset Relief Program—Community Development Capital Initiative (CDCI).

Abstract: The Department of the Treasury (Treasury) established the TARP Community Development Capital Initiative (CDCI) in 2010 to purchase qualifying assets from U.S. banking organizations that are certified Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs). Banks, savings associations, bank holding companies, savings and loan holding companies and credit unions were eligible to participate. Funding to successful CDCI applicants was completed in September 2010. For a limited period of time, Treasury is offering interested CDCI participants the opportunity to exit the CDCI program by repurchasing the CDCI securities held by Treasury at fair value. The information collection provides instructions and an application for CDCI institutions that would like to apply to exit the CDCI program using this process.
