As a certified CDFI and SBA lender, our organization directly serves the communities and businesses this administration is working to support. We provide capital to small manufacturers, job-creating entrepreneurs, and individuals acquiring businesses from retiring owners-the so-called “silver tsunami.” Our work helps keep vital businesses operating and people employed. CDFIs are a proven and effective mechanism for delivering capital where it is needed most. With continued federal support, we stand ready to expand our impact and remain on the front lines of economic development in underserved communities across the country.

CDFIs fill crucial gaps in the housing and community development ecosystem, supporting the creation and preservation of affordable housing and vital community facilities that help low-income individuals, families and communities thrive and live with dignity.

-Greg Maher, Leviticus 25:23 Alternative Fund, Inc., Tarrytown, NY

The CDFI industry has grown thanks to broad bipartisan support over the last 25 years. We’re counting on Congress to keep this essential economic development engine moving forward.
