CDFIs help people with the big repairs, supporting jobs, and financing vehicles to get to work and shopping. These are all good for the economy as well for those individual families.

Heather Engelman, 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

CDFIs are absolutely critical to provide funds for residential and business loans which grow our economy.

Kerry Quaglia, Home HeadQuarters, Inc, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs are a key component of helping our communities thrive.
