CDFIs are essential in supporting small businesses that are the backbone of the United States’ economy.
[The CDFI Fund is an] incredibly important economic development agent that helps all small businesses across the country to grow, create jobs, become bankable and strengthen our economy.
CDFIs are filling the deep credit gap encountered in many communities providing financing to small businesses, affordable housing, and community facilities, creating jobs and business opportunities and promoting revitalization.
CDFIs provide critical support that empowers communities to thrive. These financial institutions provide capital that leverages expertise and best practices from the financial services and business sectors to put capital to work in communities across the nation.
