Testimonials

CDFIs have assisted lower income people as they begin to work towards achieving the American Dream

-Jane Slabowski, member: Cooperative Federal credit Union, Syracuse, NY

CDFI funding helps us support homeowners, contractors and others in the housing market. It fills gaps in markets such as ours that other funding simply cannot.

-Karen Schroeder, Home HeadQuarters, Inc., Syracuse, NY

Our local CDFI has been essential to supporting our organization, our members and so many people in our community who have struggled to access capital and financial services. They understand how to work with our communities and have assisted so many first time home-buyers and new businesses in getting on track and being financially stable. For many of our members this is where they’ve opened their first bank account and learned how to manage their finances.
