When a rural Mississippi bank couldn't sustain its branch, a CDFI stepped in, preserving access to banking for a community that needed it. That's the power of community-centered finance. Federal Reserve Governor Barr’s recent remarks highlight how CDFIs are filling critical gaps across rural America, and why they are a critical piece of supporting rural economies.

Today, the President released his FY 2027 budget proposal, which proposes significant cuts to the CDFI Fund.
For more than 30 years, the CDFI Fund has been one of the most efficient, market-based tools in the federal toolkit: leveraging an estimated $8 in private investment for every $1 in public funding. In 2023 alone, CDFI Program recipients financed 109,151 businesses and 45,255 affordable housing units.
Cutting the Fund threatens economic growth and weakens Main Street, jeopardizing thousands of projects that create local jobs, build affordable housing, and drive opportunity in communities across the country that rely on CDFIs as their primary source of affordable capital.
We urge Congress and the Administration to protect this proven investment. Read our full statement here: ofn.org/news/ofn-statement-o…#CDFIFund#OpportunityFinance#AffordableHousing#SmallBusiness#EconomicOpportunity#CDFI
