CDFIs in Missouri provide essential capital to help small businesses grow and contribute to the economy and their families. We must not delay in ensuring these critical organizations have the resources necessary to continue supporting the resilience of businesses, families, and communities across our state and our country.
CDFIs fill an important financing gap to help meet the needs of Americans including housing development, community improvements, nonprofit and health infrastructure, and small business. The CDFI Fund is a critical investment in America’s future.
Funding through the CDFI fund is essential to our home ownership, home ownership preservation and multifamily housing development programs. CDFI funding provides flexible, low-cost funds that fill the financing gaps in projects that provide affordable, safe, and healthy housing to our clients.
