I run a consulting firm that supports CDFIs in their critical work to ensure access to credit and enhanced economic opportunity and job creation. The unique public-private partnership model of CDFIs warrants bipartisan support.
CDFIs support small businesses in ways that traditional financial partners are unable to. From flexible financing that supports growth, stabilize operations, and boosts local employment, to providing advice in all areas of business managements, to being there for the business owners as humans whenever needed. CDFIs are integral to the well-functioning of the financial system and of the economy as a whole.
