Testimonials

CDFIs are needed throughout the country to help people make their dreams come true by becoming a homeowner.

Colleen Steele, Mazaska Owecaso Otipi Financial Inc., Pine, SD

I support CDFIs because they provide needed capital for small businesses and first-time homebuyers. This capital allows people to build wealth and/or provide a product/service to their community, which leads to economic prosperity for the local area. Because the financing is provided as a loan, clients are equally invested in the success of their home/business.

Megan Fischer, GROW South Dakota, Sisseton, SD

CDFI are critical in our outline areas. The focus areas and collaborative efforts with tribal members continue to be a success.

Eric Shepherd, Sisseton Wahpeton Housing Authority, Sisseton, SD

CDFIs fill crucial gaps in the housing and community development ecosystem, supporting the creation and preservation of affordable housing and vital community facilities that help low-income individuals, families and communities thrive and live with dignity.
