CDFIs are very good stewards of federal dollars, both in terms of leveraging other resources and by making loans and investments with great repayment history.

Since its inception in 1994, PeopleFund – a CDFI and SBA Lender – has deployed more than $1.2 Billion in financial assistance in areas that needed jobs and revitalization in Texas. Almost 60% of this growth took place in the last 5 years. We are also the managing member of the Veteran Loan Fund, a collaborative effort of a growing number of CDFIs across the country supporting Veterans and Veteran spouses start and grow their businesses.
