CDFIs invest in creative solutions for communities, producing impactful outcomes such as those related to quality jobs, affordable housing, community health, and child wellbeing.
As a founding board member (1982) and original board member of this community development credit union, I urge you to continue funding CDFIs that have a vital role in our community with its current housing crisis.
We chose a mobile home because of the convenience and ease of one-floor living. The result of our move is that we now have a place that meets our physical and social needs as we age… Working with Capital for Change [CDFI] was quite the experience! What an excellent program that makes housing affordable to all!
Native CDFIs are crucial to provide the financing, investment and literacy services to improve economic and social conditions in Native communities where inadequate or non-existent mainstream financial services are commonplace. We are seeing the positive impacts of Native CDFIs across Alaska and Indian country through increased homeownership, profitable Native-owned small businesses and community improvement projects. Supporting Native CDFIs will build stronger, more resilient communities and better the economy for the nation.
