CUNA reported Tuesday the $1.1 trillion negotiated budget deal worked out by lawmakers in the House and Senate includes money for two programs credit unions use.

The U.S. Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund reportedly was scheduled to receive $226 million for the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund and $1.2 million for the Community Development Revolving Loan Fund.

"We're delighted that lawmakers took note of our requests that these programs of vital importance to credit unions be funded and carried on," said CUNA President/CEO Bill Cheney. "The efforts that will go forward as a result of this funding will ultimately help more people realize their financial goals through credit unions."
