As a certified CDFI and SBA lender, our organization directly serves the communities and businesses this administration is working to support. We provide capital to small manufacturers, job-creating entrepreneurs, and individuals acquiring businesses from retiring owners-the so-called “silver tsunami.” Our work helps keep vital businesses operating and people employed. CDFIs are a proven and effective mechanism for delivering capital where it is needed most. With continued federal support, we stand ready to expand our impact and remain on the front lines of economic development in underserved communities across the country.

These funds are vital to increase the capacity to serve low to moderate income families and their purchase of safe, fit, and affordable housing.

CDFIs have had strong bipartisan support at the federal level and I urge Congress to continue to support this important economic driver.

Heather Robinson, CDFI Friendly Bloomington Board Member, Bloomington, IN

CDFIs fill a vital need in Michigan by supporting community and economic development in under-served areas. Continuing to fund CDFIs will allow them to provide financial support for communities that would otherwise be left behind.
