[The CDFI Fund] provides a vital funding source which enables our organization to sustain and start-up businesses in our rural SD communities. Without that support, our rural communities would die because there would be nothing to keep our young families in the communities. The opportunities they need for their careers would be gone.
CDFIs are an important part of the economic system and help deploy money to underserved communities, bringing needed resources such as affordable housing, health care, quality education, etc.
