We strongly support continued investment in CDFIs because they empower local economies, create pathways to homeownership and entrepreneurship, and help communities thrive. By ensuring the sustainability and growth of CDFIs, we can continue our mission to help members bank with dignity and build a stronger financial future for all.
As a consulting firm working closely with CDFIs and economic development partners across the country, SBC Small Business Consulting supports [CDFI Fund appropriations]. The clarity and continuity of these federal programs are critical for ensuring small businesses in underserved communities receive the technical assistance and capital they need to grow. We appreciate the Treasury’s commitment to supporting CDFIs and encourage swift action to maintain momentum in local economic development efforts.
