Availability

Treasury.
ACTION: Notice of investment availability.

SUMMARY: This NOIA is published in connection with the Emergency
Capital Investment Program (ECIP), administered by the U.S. Department
of the Treasury (Treasury). Through this NOIA, Treasury announces the
availability of up to approximately $340 million in funding.
Established by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, the ECIP was
created to encourage low- and moderate-income community financial
institutions to augment their efforts to support small businesses and
consumers in their communities. Under the program, Treasury will
provide up to $8.7 billion in capital directly to depository
institutions that are certified community development financial
institutions (CDFIs) or minority depository institutions (MDIs) to,
among other things, provide loans, grants, and forbearance for small
businesses, minority-owned businesses, and consumers, especially in
low-income and underserved communities, that may be disproportionately
impacted by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Treasury
previously invested a total of approximately $8.34 billion and may
invest up to an additional approximately $340 million. This is the
second round of ECIP funding available.
DATES: Low- and moderate-income community financial institutions may
submit applications for investment starting on the date of publication
of this Notice of Investment Availability (NOIA). In order to be
considered for investment, applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m.
Eastern Time (ET) on January 31, 2023.
