The programs of the CDFI Fund play a vital role in expanding our capacity to create economic opportunities for members in CA-18 and CA-19. Support from the CDFI Fund through awards and investments has enabled us to expand our micro lending platform and affordable housing opportunities with support from FA, RRP, and ERP awards.
Native CDFIs are crucial to provide the financing, investment and literacy services to improve economic and social conditions in Native communities where inadequate or non-existent mainstream financial services are commonplace. We are seeing the positive impacts of Native CDFIs across Alaska and Indian country through increased homeownership, profitable Native-owned small businesses and community improvement projects. Supporting Native CDFIs will build stronger, more resilient communities and better the economy for the nation.
