Thank you to our partners at Inclusive and CDBA for sharing data on CDFI Bank and CDFI Credit Union branch locations. In addition, about 100 of our CDFI Stories come from OFN’s story database.
CDFIs support individuals, small businesses, community facilities in rural, metro, and Native communities in every state in the nation. CDFIs have enjoyed widespread bipartisan support for decades. They leverage federal government dollars with bank and other private sector support. They are a smart and efficient market solution the federal government should be proud to support.
CDFIs have had strong bipartisan support at the federal level and I urge Congress to continue to support this important economic driver.
CDFIs, as mission-driven financial institutions are at the forefront in providing access to capital to underserved borrowers.
CDFIs have been critical to successfully completing community and economic development projects in distressed and under-resourced communities like Youngstown and Warren, Ohio.
