CDFIs are important for local economic development.
Thank you to our partners at Inclusive and CDBA for sharing data on CDFI Bank and CDFI Credit Union branch locations. In addition, about 100 of our CDFI Stories come from OFN’s story database.
CDFIs are important for local economic development.
Our local CDFI has been essential to supporting our organization, our members and so many people in our community who have struggled to access capital and financial services. They understand how to work with our communities and have assisted so many first time home-buyers and new businesses in getting on track and being financially stable. For many of our members this is where they’ve opened their first bank account and learned how to manage their finances.
CDFIs do vital work to support individuals and small businesses in our communities. Please make sure this funding continues!
Invaluable support to people in our neighborhoods who want to build financial security–also to actually finance rehabbing vacant buildings and building new houses on vacant lots in our low/moderate income area.
