Data Background
As part of compliance requirements, award recipients under the Community Development Financial Institutions Program (CDFI Program) are required to submit information through CIIS within six months after the close of their fiscal year. This includes the Institution Level Report (ILR) and the Transaction Level Report (TLR). The ILR release includes a total of 203 variables and 3,386 observations describing CDFIs' profiles such as the demographic and geographic areas that a CDFI had served, staffing levels, financial status, and services and training provided.
The TLR release includes a total of 50 variables and 419,537 observations detailing CDFIs' financing activities in an area, including loan or investment structure and location. Documentation of the data is provided in several reports detailing the CIIS CDFI Program data. All ILR and TLR data released to the public are masked to protect the identity of individual CDFIs.
