Testimonials

I have consistently heard positive news and success stories about CDFIs in Idaho and across the country, and their responsiveness to the small business community.

-Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID)

CDFIs fill crucial gaps in the housing and community development ecosystem, supporting the creation and preservation of affordable housing and vital community facilities that help low-income individuals, families and communities thrive and live with dignity.

-Greg Maher, Leviticus 25:23 Alternative Fund, Inc., Tarrytown, NY

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.
