FAQ Question
I submitted my CDFI Certification Application (or Target Market Modification Application) prior to the start of the blackout period, why is the CDFI Fund unable to commit to completing its review of the Application before April 3, 2023?
FAQ Answer

Due to the large number of CDFI Certification Applications and Target Market Modification Applications that have already been submitted and are pending review, coupled with the volume of these Applications that we expect to receive prior to the start of the blackout period on October 1, 2022, the CDFI Fund is unable to provide a specific deadline by when the CDFI Fund will complete evaluations for pending and incoming Applications.
