Community Support Statement (FHFA Form 060) Instructions
Purpose: Section 10(g) of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act [12 U.S.C. § 1430(g)] sets forth the community support
requirements. Under the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (FHFA) implementing community support regulation [12 CFR part
1290], FHFA is required to take into account a Federal Home Loan Bank (Bank) member’s performance under the Community
Reinvestment Act of 1977 [12 U.S.C. § 2901 et seq.] (federal CRA) and its record of lending to first-time homebuyers, in
determining whether to maintain the member’s access to long-term Bank advances and to a Bank’s Affordable Housing Program
(AHP) and targeted Community Investment Cash Advances (CICA) programs. For purposes of community support review, the
term “long-term advances” means advances with a term to maturity greater than one year.
Part I (CRA Standard): Members subject to the federal CRA must complete this part. Provide your institution’s most recent
federal CRA rating and the year of the rating. Credit unions and insurance companies, which are not subject to the federal
CRA, should indicate “N/A” [i.e., not applicable] in the CRA rating field on this Community Support Statement. If your
institution is not a credit union or insurance company and is not subject to the federal CRA, indicate the reason for the
exemption.
If a member’s most recent federal CRA rating is “Needs to Improve,” FHFA will place the member on probation. During
the probationary period, the member will retain access to long-term Bank advances and Bank AHP and CICA programs. If the
member does not receive an improved federal CRA rating at its next CRA evaluation, FHFA will restrict its prospective access to
long-term Bank advances and Bank AHP and CICA programs. If a member’s most recent federal CRA rating is “Substantial Noncompliance,” FHFA will restrict the member’s prospective access to long-term Bank advances and AHP and CICA programs. The
restriction will remain in effect until the member’s federal CRA rating improves.
Part II (First-time Homebuyer Standard): All members, except those with “Outstanding” federal CRA ratings, must complete
this part. A member may satisfy the first-time homebuyer standard either by: demonstrating lending performance to first-time
homebuyers (Section A); or demonstrating other financial support or participation in programs, products, services or investments,
that directly or indirectly assists first-time homebuyers (Section B); or by a combination of both factors. If none of the
information requested in this part describes your institution’s activities to support first-time homebuyers, you may attach a brief
description of other activities of your institution that support first-time homebuyers, or a brief explanation of any mitigating
factors that adversely affect your institution’s ability to assist first-time homebuyers, such as charter or operational limitations or
market conditions.
If a member does not demonstrate assistance to first-time homebuyers or include an explanation of mitigating factors
on this Community Support Statement, FHFA will restrict the member’s prospective access to long-term Bank advances and
Bank AHP and CICA programs. The restriction will remain in effect until the member submits applicable information to FHFA
that demonstrates the member’s compliance with the first-time homebuyer standard.
Part III (Certification): All members must complete this section. A senior official of your institution with authorization to
provide the information in this Community Support Statement must certify that the information in this Community Support
Statement and any attachments are accurate to the best of his/her knowledge.
If a member submits a Community Support Statement that does not include this required certification, FHFA will restrict
the member’s prospective access to long-term Bank advances and Bank AHP and CICA programs.
Assistance: Your institution’s Bank has a Community Support Program that can assist you in preparing this Community Support
Statement.
Submission: Complete and submit the Community Support Statement and any attachments online to the Federal Housing
Finance Agency at https//www.[specific fhfa.gov address TBD].
