Thank you to our partners at Inclusive and CDBA for sharing data on CDFI Bank and CDFI Credit Union branch locations. In addition, about 100 of our CDFI Stories come from OFN’s story database.
Funding through the CDFI fund is essential to our home ownership, home ownership preservation and multifamily housing development programs. CDFI funding provides flexible, low-cost funds that fill the financing gaps in projects that provide affordable, safe, and healthy housing to our clients.
CDFIs solve for capital access gaps that increase economic opportunities for people and communities who have been excluded from that opportunity.
Our credit union has been a certified institution since 2017 if not for the [CDFI] program we could not lend to individuals that have a problem getting funding if this program is not funded many citizens who are in financially weakest position the most.
We are a nonprofit Chamber of Commerce that does microlending for small businesses. We work with a CDFI bank and are trying to get CDFI certification.
