Testimonials

CDFIs create impactful changes in communities and provide catalytic growth and changes which provide jobs, particularly in low and moderate in come areas.

-Kathy Bonney, Clearinghouse CDFI, Lake Forest, 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 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.
