CDFI Information Mapping System (CIMS)


The CDFI Fund is launching the next version of its CDFI Information Mapping System (CIMS4). The updated mapping system, which replaces CIMS3, will be available for use beginning December 21, 2020. CIMS will be unavailable from Friday, December 19, 2020 8:00 PM ET until Monday, December 21, 2020 5:00AM ET while the upgrade takes place. Please refer back to this page for additional information and updates.

The CDFI Information Mapping System v.3 (CIMS3) is now available for geocoding addresses, mapping census tracts and counties, and determining the eligibility of census tracts and counties under the CDFI Fund's various program distress criteria. CIMS3 users can create and save maps and reports, including Target Market worksheets, and submit saved maps and reports for online applications as well as other uses.

CIMS3 is available in two versions: a limited public-use version and a full version accessed through your organization's AMIS account.
