CDFIs have had strong bipartisan support at the federal level and I urge Congress to continue to support this important economic driver.
CDFIs are important for local economic development.
These funds are vital to increase the capacity to serve low to moderate income families and their purchase of safe, fit, and affordable housing.
CDFIs support small businesses in ways that traditional financial partners are unable to. From flexible financing that supports growth, stabilize operations, and boosts local employment, to providing advice in all areas of business managements, to being there for the business owners as humans whenever needed. CDFIs are integral to the well-functioning of the financial system and of the economy as a whole.
