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.

Beulah Ku, Century Housing, Culver City, CA

I represent Northwest Access Fund, a CDFI serving Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. NWAF offers people with disabilities customized loans, financial coaching, and other resources to promote access to assistive technology, independence, financial resilience, and life opportunities. We are helping people with disabilities and seniors who lack the ability to secure financing to afford crucial assistive technologies and modifications – hearing aids, dentures, wheelchairs, adaptive vehicles, and home modifications. We could not to this vital work without the investment from the CDFI Fund.

Emerson Sekins, Northwest Access Fund, Seattle, WA

As the Chair of the Board I see the positive impacts of our lending and business advising daily. Our work is integral to the health and vibrancy of our local community. Our support of emerging entrepreneurs and small businesses looking to grow fills an existing gap in the private sector and provides accessible options for many businesses.
