Testimonials

CDFIs are very good stewards of federal dollars, both in terms of leveraging other resources and by making loans and investments with great repayment history.

Suzanne Anarde-Devenport, Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC), West Sacramento, CA

CDFIs provide an important unique opportunity support communities by creating opportunities for underbanked companies and individuals to pull themselves up by their bootstrap by creating new businesses, housing and strengthening financial composites

Kevin FItzgerald, OppFund, East Lansing, MI

The programs of the CDFI Fund play a vital role in expanding our capacity to create economic opportunities for members in CA-18 and CA-19. Support from the CDFI Fund through awards and investments has enabled us to expand our micro lending platform and affordable housing opportunities with support from FA, RRP, and ERP awards.

Barbara Hammond, Santa Cruz Community Credit Union, Santa Cruz, CA

CDFIs were a critical component to our funding stacking. Allowing us to triple our occupancy and better meet our vision of a world where every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children.
