Each calendar quarter, FHLBank members that have been selected for a community support review by the Finance Board are published in the Federal Register.  These members must complete and submit a Community Support Statement (CSS) to the Finance Board.  Members subject to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) must meet both the CRA standard and the first-time homebuyer standard.  Members with a CRA rating of "outstanding" or "satisfactory" will meet the CRA standard.  Members, including credit unions, and insurance companies, not subject to CRA, must meet only the first-time homebuyer standard.  Any member that does not meet a required standard is restricted from access to the Bank's long-term advances and participating in any of the FHLBanks’ Community Investment and Cash Advance (CICA) programs until that member is able to meet the standards.

Members under review must complete and submit their CSS to:
