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.

CDFIs are important for local economic development.

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.
