Community Support Statement

A regulatory return listed by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), United States.

Documents a FHLBank member's Community Reinvestment Act performance and its support of first-time homebuyers, so FHFA can review the member for continued access to long-term FHLBank advances. Source

Official title: Community Support Statement under the Community Support Program (12 CFR Part 1290)

The facts

Who files
Each FHLBank member (a commercial bank, thrift, credit union or insurance company that belongs to a Federal Home Loan Bank), except a non-depository community development financial institution, which is deemed to comply by virtue of its CDFI certification instead. This is filed by FHLBank members, not by the FHLBanks themselves or FHFA's other regulated entities. Source
How often
Once every two years, in each odd-numbered year, on dates FHFA designates for each biennial review cycle. Source
Deadline
FHFA designates the submission dates for each biennial review cycle by written notice to the Banks; a member not required to file (for example one that has belonged to its Bank for less than a year) is exempt for that cycle (12 CFR 1290.2). Source
Format
Other. A completed Community Support Statement form, executed by a senior officer of the member and submitted to FHFA under its submission instructions; no specific electronic filing system is named on the pages read. Source
How it is filed
The format above is what the library records; what could not be verified is on the FHFA's page.
