In this award round, with funding combined from FY 2022 and FY 2023 appropriations, the CDFI Fund awarded the largest amount in total funds as well as the highest number of grants in the BEA Program history. All of the $70 million awarded will be reinvested into economically distressed communities and CDFIs, generating further economic opportunity.
