Background on OCC's Community Affairs Function:
OCC's Community Affairs Department supports the OCC's mission to ensure a safe and sound banking system by helping national banks to be leaders in providing community development financing and retail services to underserved communities and consumers. Those activities include:
Providing training and technical assistance on effective strategies for community development, formation of community development corporations, community development banks, lending consortia and other partnerships, or investing in community development projects.
Conducting tailored one-on-one consultations with national banks to assist these institutions in identifying opportunities and resources to support community development finance.
Sponsoring conferences, roundtable discussions, and workshops for the exchange of information and ideas, among lenders, community groups, and government officials.
Developing publications and Web-based resources on innovative approaches banks have used to provide community development financing and retail financial services to underserved rural, urban and Native American communities:
- Community Developments Newsletter
- Community Developments Investments E-Zine
- Community Developments Insights
- Community Affairs' OCC Update
- Community Affairs Fact Sheets
The Community Affairs Department also administers the national bank community development investment authority (12 CFR Part 24 or "Part 24"). Under this authority, national banks may make investments that are designed to primarily promote the public welfare. Those investments typically support such activities as affordable housing development, equity for start-up and small business expansion, and commercial redevelopment of government-targeted revitalization areas.
