These funds were used to construct our high school building, which has served thousands of students and families in our community.

The CDFI FA/TA funding is critical to making projects happen and creating opportunities for employment. The NMTC program is critical to important real estate projects in areas like Opportunity Zones and other under invested areas.

-Tammie Hoy, Together Consulting, St. Petersburg, FL

I’m a contract CFO for multiple smaller CDFIs around the US who are supporting those in our communities that are starting small businesses, trying to get financing to buy a vehicle to get to a job or earn a living in the gig economy, and small developers bringing affordable housing onto the market. No one else is making this financing available. I work to see thriving communities here in the US that make our local economies vibrant and healthy. The CDFI Fund makes that possible.
