The CDFI Fund, and the organizations it serves, enable greater numbers of people to participate in the US economy in a positive way, creating jobs and businesses, while producing vital goods and services.
CDFIs are extremely effective at providing access to capital and services to communities in rural and metropolitan areas, raising and leveraging private funding, to create effective solutions to meet the most challenging needs.
Funding through the CDFI fund is essential to our home ownership, home ownership preservation and multifamily housing development programs. CDFI funding provides flexible, low-cost funds that fill the financing gaps in projects that provide affordable, safe, and healthy housing to our clients.
