Under the Capital Magnet Fund (CMF)
the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund
provides competitively awarded grants to CDFIs and qualified
nonprofit housing organizations to finance affordable housing and
related community development projects.
The estimate of burden hours
for FY 2021-2023 Applications of 16,440 hours is similar, but
slightly lower, when compared to the previous total Application
burden hours for the FY2017 application (20,000 hours). This
primarily reflects a lower estimate of groups applying for funding
(137 v. 200) and slightly higher burden hours (120 v. 100). The
estimate of burden hours for the FY 2021-2023 Annually Report is
somewhat increased from the prior estimate of 2,200 hours, based
primarily on a significant increase in the number of reports
expected to be filed annually (291 v. 55). This was offset
partially by elimination of certain data points which lowered the
burden per response from 40 hours to 20. Labor costs which had been
erroneously included in ROCIS as Annual Cost Burden previously have
been removed. There are no out-of-pocket (non-labor) costs
connected with this collection.
