Congress backs CDFI bill to fund community lenders
The Housing Scene Congress passed the Community Development Financial Institutions act authorizing 382 million dollars over four years with 125 million in FY95 for distressed areas. The president will sign today as NCCED and CED representatives attend at the White House. The fund will support CDCs credit unions and community banks with up to 5 million per eligible CDFI over three years and set aside a third for banks in distressed communities. A new federal Community Development Financial Institutions Fund will be led by a presidentially appointed administrator with Senate confirmation.

Sen Robert Byrd urged a larger cut earlier, while NEA chair Jane Alexander defended the agency and its arts contributions.

With the History compilation due and Christmas sales in view, experts debate whether the scandal damaged his appeal to children and families.
