The work of CDFIs and the CDFI Fund is critical for so many small businesses, real estate developers, nonprofits, and communities across the United States.

Mary Stoick, Sunrise Banks, St Paul, MN

This funding is crucial to meeting the needs of those who are hard-working, dedicated members of our communities across Pennsylvania, who often lack resources from other financial institutions to meet their needs to maintain employment, housing, and enjoyment in our communities. Without this funding, more people will be in need of additional subsidies to maintain living and thriving in our communities. Eliminating this funding will be far more expensive than continuing it.

Will Hall, Pennsylvania Assistive Technology Foundation, King of Prussia, PA

We chose a mobile home because of the convenience and ease of one-floor living. The result of our move is that we now have a place that meets our physical and social needs as we age… Working with Capital for Change [CDFI] was quite the experience! What an excellent program that makes housing affordable to all!

Allen and Frank, Central Connecticut

Our CDFI certification and money received has allowed us the opportunity to be of service to the most underserved and marginalized in our community.
