The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) launched the next version of its CDFI Information Mapping System (CIMS3). The web-based tool allows organizations interested in applying for certification as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) or Community Development Entity (CDE), or in applying to one of the CDFI Fund's award programs, to visually plot their eligible service areas and investments. CIMS3 is intended to improve the past mapping capabilities the CDFI Fund offered.It also for the first time allows the general public to access eligibility data for each of the CDFI Fund's programs. CIMS3 will also allow prospective and certified CDFIs and CDEs enhanced capacities to identify and assess target markets, to quickly and accurately determine the eligibility of specific sites for possible investments, and to easily create maps and geographic data analyses.
