CDFI will award $5 million each year for training and technical assistance through this program. The purpose of the program is to increase access to capital in Native American, Native Hawaiian and Alaska Native Communities. The program has three primary goals: 1) to assist financial institutions serving these communities, 2) to enhance the capacity to provide access to capital and credit, and 3) to assist tribes, villages and Native American communities to establish CDFIs.
