READOUT: Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo’s
Visit with Emergency Capital Investment Program Recipient
Institutions in North Carolina
July 29, 2022

Today in North Carolina, Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo visited the Raleigh Branch of the
Latino Community Credit Union (LCCU), where he met with leaders of the LCCU and Self-Help
Credit Union (Self-Help). During the visit, the Deputy Secretary heard about the impact of
Treasuryʼs Emergency Capital Investment Program (ECIP) on the local community and the role
of credit unions in serving the banking and capital access needs of communities of color, small
businesses, and rural residents of North Carolina. Both Self-Help and LCCU are recipients of
ECIP funds.
Established by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, ECIP is designed to support
community development financial institutions (CDFIs) and minority depository institutions
(MDIs) in expanding their e orts to support small businesses and consumers in their
communities. Under the program, Treasury is providing nearly $9 billion in capital directly to
depository institutions that are certified CDFIs or MDIs to, among other things, provide loans,
grants, and forbearance for small businesses, minority-owned businesses, and consumers,
especially in low-income and underserved communities, that may be disproportionately
impacted by the economic e ects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
