Testimonials

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.

-Jessica Maxwell, Workers Center of Central New york, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs are a lifeline for many small business owners who cannot get traditional financing from large banks.
