Thank you to our partners at Inclusive and CDBA for sharing data on CDFI Bank and CDFI Credit Union branch locations. In addition, about 100 of our CDFI Stories come from OFN’s story database.
CDFIs drive local economic growth by financing small businesses, creating jobs, and expanding affordable housing. They support rural and tribal communities, fund critical services like childcare and health clinics, and have invested $298 billion in underserved areas since 2010.
CDFIs have had strong bipartisan support at the federal level and I urge Congress to continue to support this important economic driver.
It is critically important that the United States Department of the Treasury continues to support the work of CDFIS throughout our great nation.
CDFIs provide opportunity for those who would otherwise not have access.
