Interested in learning more about the U.S. Department of the Treasury's CDFI Bond Guarantee Program? The federal program offers creditworthy community development financial institutions (CDFI) access to long-term affordable capital.

Join us on February 18 at 3 p.m. ET for an hourlong webinar that will address how this innovative program incentivizes CDFIs to take on large-scale projects such as the development of commercial real estate, charter schools, health care centers, housing units, and municipal infrastructure.

Speakers will discuss details on how to access the CDFI Bond Guarantee Program. The session will feature Lisa M. Jones, manager of the CDFI Bond Guarantee Program at the CDFI Fund; Douglas J. Bystry, president and chief executive officer of Clearinghouse CDFI; and Jennifer Novak, vice president of capital markets at the Community Reinvestment Fund.
