Testimonials

CDFIs are critical to driving real estate development in underserved communities and during challenging economic times. We have developed more than $100 M in projects using CDFI financing and it is a critical component to the capital stack, as well as important for delivering transformative projects to communities across the country.

-JoAnna Hicks, Element Commercial Real Estate, Minneapolis, MN

CDFIs solve for capital access gaps that increase economic opportunities for people and communities who have been excluded from that opportunity.

-Micha Josephy, Cooperative Fund of the Northeast, Inc., Watertown, MA

CDFIs provide a critical service to low-income entrepreneurs who are generally excluded from traditional financing to receive business training services and access to affordable capital to help them start their own microenterprises and thus improve their family’s and community’s economic stability.
