CDFIs make our urban and rural economies healthy working alongside financial institutions and providing that responsible capital!
We are a Native CDFI serving the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in western NC. Our work here is critical to supporting new business creation, small business growth, job creation and retention, and housing security for tribal members who have historically endured economic hardship and lack of adequate banking and capital resources. Not to be lumped in with the myriad ways government-funded projects and organizations waste tax dollars, our industry has proven itself a superior investment for the U.S. taxpayers and is one our elected officials should be proud to support.
CDFIs have had strong bipartisan support at the federal level and I urge Congress to continue to support this important economic driver.
