Testimonials

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.

-Heather Engelman, Cooperative Federal, Syracuse, NY

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.

-Ms. Susan L. Schoonmaker, Cooperative Federal Credit Union, Syracuse, NY

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.
