Testimonials

CDFIs fill a critical void in funding the development of affordable housing. They provide below market interest rates, have flexible terms, and can respond to critical funding needs with more flexibility than a traditional bank/credit union.

-Linda Braunschweiger, Housing Trust Fund Ventura County, Ventura County, CA

The programs of the CDFI Fund play a vital role in expanding our capacity to create economic opportunities for members in CA-18 and CA-19. Support from the CDFI Fund through awards and investments has enabled us to expand our micro lending platform and affordable housing opportunities with support from FA, RRP, and ERP awards.

-Barbara Hammond, Santa Cruz Community Credit Union, Santa Cruz, CA

CDFIs are filling the deep credit gap encountered in many communities providing financing to small businesses, affordable housing, and community facilities, creating jobs and business opportunities and promoting revitalization.
