NY17 Fact Sheet

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.

-Michael Messina-Yauchzy, Syracuse Cooperative Federal CU, Syracuse, NY

CDFIs are filling in gaps in the capital markets that make financing more widely accessible and contribute to greater economic prosperity for all.

-Jennifer Talansky, Nonprofit Finance Fund, New York, NY

In Syracuse’s depressed economy, CDFIs have been a lifeline for aiding some of the most financially challenged residents and businesses. My credit union has leveraged CDFI funds to lift many households out of poverty, and we need this to continue.
