As a founding board member (1982) and original board member of this community development credit union, I urge you to continue funding CDFIs that have a vital role in our community with its current housing crisis.
CDFIs help people with the big repairs, supporting jobs, and financing vehicles to get to work and shopping. These are all good for the economy as well for those individual families.
CDFIs provide extraordinary support to many people who otherwise would not be able to access ordinary banking and credit opportunities. They are frequently located in banking deserts”
CDFIs exist to help grow local economies, provide housing, and support small businesses.
