I am a Board Member of a Native American CDFI that serves Wabanaki Tribes and tribal members in Maine. It’s been quite concerning of the number of threats to our services by the Trump Administration. My hope is that these threats are no longer a hinderance to our daily services particularly the issue of federal funding freeze.
The CDFI FA/TA funding is critical to making projects happen and creating opportunities for employment. The NMTC program is critical to important real estate projects in areas like Opportunity Zones and other under invested areas.
