CDFIs provide critical support that empowers communities to thrive. These financial institutions provide capital that leverages expertise and best practices from the financial services and business sectors to put capital to work in communities across the nation.
CDFIs fill an important financing gap to help meet the needs of Americans including housing development, community improvements, nonprofit and health infrastructure, and small business. The CDFI Fund is a critical investment in America’s future.
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.
