Yesterday, Community Vision joined more than 60 CDFI leaders from across California in Sacramento for the California Coalition for Community Investment CCCI's #CDFIAdvocacyDay. Our President Catherine Howard, Director of Impact & Learning Nate Schaffran, Community Development Officer Joi Eubanks, and Interim VP of External Relations Saul Ettlin met with legislators to talk about how CDFIs expand access to capital for affordable housing, small business, and essential community assets in historically disinvested communities. We also are advocating for the renewal of $50M in funding for the California Investment and Innovation Fund (Cal IIP), a vital investment in community-driven economic development. Thank you to all of the legislators we had a chance to meet with, including Sen. Christopher Cabaldon, Sen. Scott Wiener, and Asm. Damon Connolly. Let’s keep the momentum going! #CommunityOwnership #CommunityVision #CommunityEmpowerment
