Century is a CDFI, and we finance affordable housing and provide capital to underserved communities. We urge continuation of investment and support the appropriation of critical funds to produce more housing.

CDFIs provide banking services to people who would not otherwise have access to these basic services.
We have seen thousands of businesses receive grants and loans through CDFIs that have gone on to become successful businesses, contributing significantly to their local economies. Most of these businesses would not have received this capital from other financial institutions, so without this CDFI funding these thousands of businesses would not have been started or would have run out of initial funding before hitting the critical mass necessary to be successful. It means thousands of businesses, employers and employees are now gainfully employed, contributing to the economy and paying taxes that otherwise would not have happened.
