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

As we look to the next 25 years, we remain focused on investing in entrepreneurs and communities that deserve meaningful opportunities to grow and thrive.

-Marten Jenkins, President & CEO of Partner Community Capital, Charlestown, WV

CDFIs stand in the gap for communities that have long been overlooked, offering the tools, capital, and support that empower people to lift themselves up by their bootstraps. From revitalizing main streets to helping families buy their first homes, CDFIs turn potential into progress. With timely and full support from the Treasury Department, these institutions can continue delivering measurable impact, fueling self-reliance, entrepreneurship, and generational change in America’s most underinvested communities
