CDFI Fund’s Priority Points, FDIC Bank Failures now on PolicyMap Priority Points: The CDFI Fund announced earlier this month that their scoring of applications for FY 2011 funds will rely on a new priority point system based on a county’s extent of distress. PolicyMap now has these scores, ranging from 0 for the lowest distress to 5 for the greatest distress. You can find this and the underlying measures in the Federal Guidelines tab. Check out the map of your community while preparing your application! Powered by www.policymap.com, an online mapping tool and data warehouse.
At the request of the Federal Reserve Bank, we’ve also loaded in Bank Failures from 2000 to the present from the FDIC. We update these bank locations on a weekly basis. Access these for free in the Add Sites menu under “Bank Failures”. Our recent update to the IRS Statistics of Income data on PolicyMap included adding a few interesting new indicators in 2007, such as the percent of returns with Unemployment Compensation and returns with mortgage interest reported. Find these and other tax-related data in the Money & Income tab. Our subscribers can check out the updated and improved IRS Report, as well. |
