Klein Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:53:03 +0000 http://www.financefund.org/blog/?p=418#comment-1203 The way the current regulations are drafted membership of a CDFI in the FHLB is predicated on several parameters. One of those is that a member applicant must have a history and portfolio of housing related assets; i.e. be a mortgage lender. It is not part of our strategy to move into being a primary retail credit resource; i.e. mortgage lending, car loan, personal saving/checking accounts, etc. It is unlikely that we will pursue FHLB membership within these parameters.

We've found the AHP program is vital when LIHTC is not available. Is it possible for you to become a member even before you become a bank? It would be so great to have a member bank to work with that understood how to evaluate community development projects. We're in the process of planning future projects. Shall we be talking to you as well as banks about construction financing and/or the AHP submission? Or is this way down the road? Will you be pursuing membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank?
