Warehouse and Wholesale Fact Sheet

CDFIs are essential in supporting small businesses that are the backbone of the United States’ economy.

-Patricia Chang, Feed, San Francisco, CA

We are proud to be one of the many CDFIs channeling capital into otherwise economically underserved communities nationwide. Since 2017, we have financed over 3,000 affordable homes, aided by awards from the CDFI Fund. The CDFI Fund’s programs are essential to our work and our ability to attract and leverage private capital.

-Rebecca Foster, San Francisco Housing Accelerator Fund, San Francisco, CA

CDFIs have been essential vehicles for moving investment capital into communities that otherwise cannot access capital. We provide important technical assistance and financial support to grow businesses, finance projects, and revitalize communities thanks to investments from the CDFI Fund, which we then leverage with other private capital.
