CDFIs exist to help grow local economies, provide housing, and support small businesses.

We cannot abandon Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), who do measurable, positive work in our communities.

CDFIs are most proximate to communities needs and provide responsible, flexible capital solutions that support new business starts, job creation / retention, financial acumen building and skills development, and delivery of critical goods and services to opportunity rich communities.
