Testimonials

Native CDFIs are important to fixing the housing crisis in Indian Country. They are a way for Tribes to attract capital that leave Tribal members in control.

Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY)

CDFIs are essential in supporting small businesses that are the backbone of the United States’ economy.

Patricia Chang, Feed, San Francisco, CA

CDFIs fill a vital need in Michigan by supporting community and economic development in under-served areas. Continuing to fund CDFIs will allow them to provide financial support for communities that would otherwise be left behind.

Charlotte J. Smith, Community Economic Development Association of Michigan, Lansing, MI

It is critical to the development of affordable housing. CDFIs work in areas other financial institutions are either unable to or unwilling to. CDFI loans really make an impact on effectively addressing the financial needs of low-income families.
