$200 Million in Community Development Funding awarded! Team Thayer Real Estate News

cash-moneyThe Community Development Financial Institutions(CDFI) Fund of the U.S. Department of Treasuryannounced Friday the awarding of $202 million in grants and loans to 195 CDFIs through the CDFI Program and the Native American CDFI Assistance (NACA) Program, capping the 20th anniversary of CDFI funding.
The purpose of the CDFI Program is to invest in and build the capacity of community credit unions, banks, loan funds, and other financial institutions that serve rural and urban communities and do not have access to affordable financial products and services, according to Treasury. Since 31 CDFIs received the first CDFI Program awards ($35.5 million from the CDFI Fund) in 1996, the CDFI Fund has awarded more than $1.5 billion through 20 rounds, building a nationwide network of more than 950 CDFIs covering all states. All CDFIs are focused on empowering the communities they serve.
"Today’s awards highlight how much the CDFI Program has contributed in its 20 year history towards building a strong network of CDFIs across the country," CDFI Fund Director Annie Donovan said. "These important community partners are not only on the frontlines of economically distressed communities providing needed capital and credit, they are building a more inclusive economy which benefits the nation as a whole."
On Friday, 152 organizations received a total of $182.3 million in Financial Assistance and Technical Assistance awards (including 28 first-time recipients) through the Fiscal Year 2015 round of the CDFI program. More than $439 million in funding was requested from a total of 374 organizations.
"Today’s awards highlight how much the CDFI Program has contributed in its 20 year history towards building a strong network of CDFIs across the country."
A total of 43 organizations received $19.6 million in Financial Assistance and Technical Assistance from the NACA Program, which is designed to encourage the creation and strengthening of Native CDFIs. This includes seven first-time recipients. More than $37.5 million in funding was requested for the FY 2015 round which was the 14th round of funding that included awards specifically for Native Communities. The $19.6 million awarded from the NACA Program was a substantial increase from FY 2014, when $12.2 million was awarded to CDFIs serving Native Communities.

Understanding the tax advantages and disadvantages of homeownership #realestate #taxadvantage #taxes #housing #market

It’s no secret that some of the major perks of homeownership are the tax write-offs and advantages that follow the purchase. In fact, according to a 2015 survey by the National Association of Realtors, 80% of homebuyers see homeownership as a good investment, and 43% think it’s better than investing in the stock market. Reaping the rewards of mortgage interest and property tax deductions is just one way to think of your home as an investment. But there are even more real estate–related tax advantages and disadvantages that can slip under a new homeowner’s radar. It can be relatively easy to trigger tax liabilities or perks (and then fail to claim them) on that new piece of  Eugene, Or, real estate . This is why it’s essential to touch base with your tax pro before every real estate transaction, no matter how minor a question you may have.
