MI07 Fact Sheet

I have watched how CDFIs support small business owners and home owners where banks and credit unions could not. The amount banks charge is often above what people can pay, CDFIs that are nonprofits even the playing field for them by investing in the people and not company profits.

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