Testimonials

CDFIs have been critical to successfully completing community and economic development projects in distressed and under-resourced communities like Youngstown and Warren, Ohio.

-Sarah Lown, Western Reserve Port Authority, Youngstown, OH

CDFI funds are frequently the only source of funding and lending available to small, scaled community-oriented development in Minneapolis. Without access to those opportunities companies like mine would not be able to accomplish our development goals and create mid-scale projects related to the arts and market rate affordable housing.

-Colin Ryan Oglesbay, D/O Architects, Saint Paul, MN

CDFIs invest in creative solutions for communities, producing impactful outcomes such as those related to quality jobs, affordable housing, community health, and child wellbeing.
