Testimonials

The CDFI industry has grown thanks to broad bipartisan support over the last 25 years. We’re counting on Congress to keep this essential economic development engine moving forward.

-Meagan Weatherby, Cooperative Federal, Syracuse, NY

Our local CDFI has been essential to supporting our organization, our members and so many people in our community who have struggled to access capital and financial services. They understand how to work with our communities and have assisted so many first time home-buyers and new businesses in getting on track and being financially stable. For many of our members this is where they’ve opened their first bank account and learned how to manage their finances.

-Jessica Maxwell, Workers Center of Central New york, Syracuse, NY

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.
