Virginia Community Development Financial Institutions Fund and Program; report. Codifies the Virginia Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, originally created in the 2021 Appropriation Act, and establishes the Virginia Community Development Financial Institutions Program to carry out the purposes of the Fund. The Program shall provide grants and loans to community development financial institutions and other similar entities for the purpose of providing financing to small businesses, housing development and rehabilitation projects, and community revitalization real estate projects in the Commonwealth. The bill requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to oversee the Fund and Program and to (i) identify qualified recipients of funding; (ii) ensure that grants and loans promote housing and community development, capital access, housing access, and small business support; (iii) ensure that qualified recipients emphasize microfinancing, defined as financing to small businesses in amounts of $100,000 or less, in using program funds; and (iv) utilize Program funds to promote collaborative and cooperative projects with public and private sector partners. The bill requires the Department to submit an annual report on the use and impact of funding provided. This bill is identical to HB 1411.
