Build the CDFI System For California Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) are a critical tool for resolving California’s affordability and inequality crises. Federal policy shifts are reshaping the CDFI landscape– but those same shifts create an opportunity to build a California CDFI sector that addresses our state’s challenges more effectively than ever. Doing that will require leveraging our full set of resources across CDFIs, state government, philanthropy, and the private sector. So come join a curated cohort of leaders to lay the groundwork for the community development finance system California needs.
