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 are critical lender and investors in low-wealth communities and low-resourced communities in South Carolina. CDFIs are vital lenders for affordable housing, small businesses, and community facilities. We strongly support the protection of the CDFI Fund.
The CDFI Fund has made it possible for our credit union to put funding in the hands of Iowans of modest means who absolutely need it most.
CDFIs are a critical link for many low-income communities and individuals for financing that is not available from conventional sources.
This is greater than just the CDFI Fund. There are countless of small businesses that cannot get financial support in a traditional lending institution.
