U.S. Community Adjustment And Investment Program (CAIP)
U.S. Community Adjustment And Investment Program (CAIP)
General Description
CAIP is a program established to assist U.S. companies that are doing business in areas of the country that have been negatively affected by NAFTA. Funds administered by Treasury (see below) allow for the payment of fees on eligible loans. These fees include the 7(a) program guarantee fee (and subsidy) and the 504 program guarantee, CDC and lender fees. Depending on the loan size, the fees can be sizeable.
The CAIP works with the SBA in both their 7(a) Loan Guarantee Program and 504 Program to reduce borrower costs and increase the availability of these proven business assistance programs. CAIP can be used with both the 7(a) and 504 Loan Programs
Eligibility
To be eligible, certain criteria must be met; for example, the business must reside in a county noted as being negatively affected by NAFTA, based on job losses and the unemployment rate of the county; this was recently expanded to allow for granting eligibility to defined areas within a county (which will allow SBA to react quickly in offering to provide assistance when, for example, a plant closes).
In addition, there is a job creation component. For 7(a) loans, one job has to be created for every $70,000 SBA guarantees. For 504 loans, one job has to be created for every $50,000 SBA guarantees.
Eligible CAIP Communities
Currently, over 230 counties in 29 states are designated as eligible. Here is a listing of all communities (PDF File)which have been designated as eligible for funding under the Community Adjustment and Investment Program (CAIP). This second file contains the eligible zip codes for urban communities.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
