Testimonials

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.

-Susan Hamilton, Syracuse Cooperative Federal Credit Union, Syracuse, NY

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

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