CDFIs provide financial services, education and loans to support economic growth and development for families and small businesses. Many qualify, but are unable to secure needed funding through mainstream, traditional financial sources. The work of CDFIs enriches our communities and the quality of life for residents.
It is critical to the development of affordable housing. CDFIs work in areas other financial institutions are either unable to or unwilling to. CDFI loans really make an impact on effectively addressing the financial needs of low-income families.
CDFIs invest in creative solutions for communities, producing impactful outcomes such as those related to quality jobs, affordable housing, community health, and child wellbeing.
