New @UrbanInstitute research: working LMI households have a median net worth of $33,300 — and nearly half can't cover a $1,700 financial emergency. They say CDFIs can play a critical role in expanding wealth-building pathways for these families. ow.ly/8rlZ50Z1QbA

Proud to celebrate the ribbon cutting of the new Southside Community Health Center on Lake Street ✂️! This new clinic will serve 18K+ low‑income residents and expand access to care in south Minneapolis. Partners supported the project with a $7.5M NMTC allocation.

Our latest: Participating in a $7 million loan that supports preservation of five apartment buildings and growth of the housing development pipeline in Greater Seattle—a high-cost area with a shortage of affordable housing.

Big news! We’ve promoted Natasha Shulinina to chief lending officer. She has strong command of our portfolio, pipeline, and prospects, and knows how to work with our lending partners to get things done. A great step forward for us!

Check out this new paper from Sierra Stoney, our manager of impact and research, on the effect of rising rents on low-income households. It’s an important addition to the affordability conversation. ow.ly/SP2550YSAIv

We closed last month on a $2 million participation in a $7.6 million loan that will advance the rehabilitation of a 52-unit senior housing community in rural Nevada. This is our fourth partnership with the lead lender, @RCACorg.

A new @ClevFedResearch report looked at CDFI support for LMI areas of the Fourth District, highlighting lending and technical assistance. Said one CDFI interviewee, "We're like a woodpecker in a petrified forest . . . we gotta be persistent and patient." ow.ly/P53P50YONBX
