MI01 Fact Sheet

I support CDFIs because I’ve witnessed the economic development they bring to an underserved community and the people that inhabit these areas.

-Taney Turner, ELGA Credit Union, Grand Blanc, MI

CDFIs stand in the gap for communities that have long been overlooked, offering the tools, capital, and support that empower people to lift themselves up by their bootstraps. From revitalizing main streets to helping families buy their first homes, CDFIs turn potential into progress. With timely and full support from the Treasury Department, these institutions can continue delivering measurable impact, fueling self-reliance, entrepreneurship, and generational change in America’s most underinvested communities
