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.
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.
CDFIs are a lifeline for many small business owners who cannot get traditional financing from large banks.
CDFIs do vital work to support individuals and small businesses in our communities. Please make sure this funding continues!
As a founding board member (1982) and original board member of this community development credit union, I urge you to continue funding CDFIs that have a vital role in our community with its current housing crisis.
