Our Impact
Across Florida, CDFIs play a vital role in expanding economic opportunity where traditional financing often falls short. By pairing flexible capital with hands-on support, CDFIs help small businesses grow, families access affordable housing, and communities build long-lasting assets.
According the CDFI Fund, CDFIs have provided over 1 million loans in Florida totaling more than $25 billion.
This work is especially important, for example, in rural towns, underserved urban neighborhoods, and communities of color, where historic barriers have limited access to fair financial services. CDFIs don’t just provide loans — they invest in people.
According to Opportunity Finance Network, a National association of CDFIs, there are more than 1,400 certified CDFIs in the United States which manage more than $222 billion in assets.
