FEDERAL RESERVE press release

For immediate release

June 18,1998

The Federal Reserve System has announced the publication o f its Directory: Community
Development Investments, a resource for bankers, community development groups, and others
interested in community development finance.
The 1998 directory, which is periodically updated and published, consists o f 159 profiles
of community development investments made through late 1997 by bank holding companies and
state chartered banks supervised by the Federal Reserve System. The profiles highlight the
activities o f community development corporations, limited liability companies and limited
partnerships in which institutions have invested. Each profile includes information on the
amount of initial capital invested by an institution, a description of the community development
projects or activities undertaken or planned, and contact persons who can provide additional
information on the organization and operations o f the CDC or other community development
investment activity.
Under certain circumstances, regulations governing community development investments
allow bank holding companies and state member banks to make equity investments in
community development corporations, or limited liability companies and limited partnerships
devoted to community development, without prior regulatory approval. However, institutions
supervised by the Federal Reserve are encouraged to consult with both the Community Affairs
staff and Applications staff at their local Federal Reserve Bank before initiating investment
activity.
The directory o f community development investments is available to bankers and the
public and can be downloaded from the Federal Reserve’s web site:
www.bog.frb.fed.us/DCCA/Directory
Printed copies o f the directory can be obtained by financial institutions and others by
contacting the Community Affairs office o f their local Federal Reserve Bank. For further
information, contact the Division o f Consumer and Community Affairs, Board o f Governors of
the Federal Reserve System, Washington D.C. 20551, (202) 452-3378.
