CDFIs keep urban & rural communities afloat and help everyday people build wealth.
When we protect CDFI deposits, we support housing, childcare, healthcare, & more for communities and small businesses.
If Republicans cared about lowering costs & growing our economy, they'd stop attacking CDFIs.

The White House tried to eliminate funding for CDFIs – twice — but Congress sided with small businesses counting on it, and appropriated the money anyway. Still OMB refused to give Treasury the green light to write checks.
