Our CDFI has made it possible for me and many others in our community to buy a house, make a budget, and function as responsible community members through educational and financial services.

Since 2008, CDFI Sustainable Neighborhoods has lent over $600 million to New York State homeowners at risk of losing their homes to foreclosure. Our lending programs have stabilized tens of thousands of households, thus preventing family displacement that leads to personal financial hardship and expenditures of substantial government funding needed to prevent or address homelessness across New York’s rural, suburban, and urban regions.

Invaluable support to people in our neighborhoods who want to build financial security–also to actually finance rehabbing vacant buildings and building new houses on vacant lots in our low/moderate income area.

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.
