## What this source is

**Model-written orientation**

The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund certifies and funds community lenders serving underserved areas and administers tax credit programs for investing in low-income communities. This email source carries bulletins about policy updates, award announcements, and data releases.

The Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund is an office within the Department of the Treasury that oversees and supports community development financial institutions—lenders, venture capital funds, and financial service providers that serve low-income and underserved communities. The fund certifies institutions as CDFIs based on their demonstrated commitment to community development, provides grants and loans to build their capacity, and offers technical assistance.

The CDFI Fund administers the New Markets Tax Credit, a federal tax credit that attracts private investment to low-income communities by providing incentives to investors who fund or finance eligible projects and businesses located in economically distressed areas. The fund manages programs supporting access to financial services, capital formation in underserved regions, and economic opportunity in communities with limited access to traditional lending and financial services.

Email bulletins from the CDFI Fund announce policy decisions, funding opportunities for community development financial institutions, awards of grants and tax credits to specific entities or projects, releases of program data or performance reports, and guidance documents. Readers may see announcements of new certification rounds for CDFIs, available funding for community development financial institutions to build lending capacity or services, awards of New Markets Tax Credits to specific projects and investors, reports on the reach and impact of CDFI programs, data releases about community lending trends, and notices of policy changes affecting community development finance or economic development programs. The bulletins reflect the fund's mission to expand access to financial services, credit, and capital in underserved communities.

## How we ingest it

| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Channel | email bulletin |
| Method | Subscription bulletins to the project mailbox, ingested by the email adapter (src/fapd/email_sources.py; raw RFC-5322 capture, DKIM verify-and-archive). |
| Adapter | govdelivery |
| Requests | none — bulletins are delivered to the project mailbox by the agency's own subscription service |
| Authenticity | every message's DKIM signature is checked on arrival and the result is disclosed on each item; in the inbox a failing signature is labeled, never silently dropped; in the junk folder, which is read too, only a message whose signature verifies and matches the sender's domain is accepted, and the rest are refused and counted |
| Capture and hash | captured raw content is hashed (SHA-256) into the day's committed provenance manifest, hash-chained day to day (PROVENANCE.md) |

## Ingestion health

Counts are of our own requests, retries included. A 4xx or 5xx is the server declining to return content — that may be load, maintenance, on-demand generation, or a limit the publisher sets, and we cannot tell which from outside. Nothing here is a measurement of the publisher.

Bulletins matching this sender were already present in the mailbox before registration; ingestion begins with the first poll following deployment. No bulletins have been recorded from this source since registration. The collector has accessed the mailbox without errors, observing zero messages associated with this source across the past week. No delivery pattern, cadence, or format characteristics are yet observable. Gate-3 coverage evaluation awaits the first ingested bulletin.
