Century is a CDFI, and we finance affordable housing and provide capital to underserved communities. We urge continuation of investment and support the appropriation of critical funds to produce more housing.
Century is a CDFI, and we finance affordable housing and provide capital to underserved communities. We urge continuation of investment and support the appropriation of critical funds to produce more housing.
As an emerging CDFI serving the state of MN with small dollar consumer lending, this funding is essential to us to help combat predatory lending that strips wealth from low-income communities and allows us to provide stabilizing capital to communities to stay housed, employed, and (re)build credit to reach their asset building goals (e.g. car and home ownership) for the future.
These funds are vital to increase the capacity to serve low to moderate income families and their purchase of safe, fit, and affordable housing.
