The livestream below will begin at the time of the event.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s recent extension of the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) technical assistance application deadline, which is now September 1, presents an exciting opportunity for community development financial institutions (CDFIs) and community lenders to support local makers and manufacturing businesses. This new $300 million program will focus on helping very small businesses and those owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals be able access to $10 billion in capital being made available through SSBCI or other state and federal programs.
Join us on Tuesday, June 21, from 4:00 to 5:00 PM ET to discuss SSBCI and opportunities for states and community development finance institutions to apply.
