With goals of further assisting Michigan residents across the state in affordable financing for small businesses, first-time home buying, revitalizing neighborhoods and building affordable housing, and more we're enthusiastic about Gretchen Whitmer for Governor's #2024StateoftheState address. By making the largest investment to build housing in Michigan history, Whitmer is investing nearly $1.4 billion into building or rehabilitating nearly 10,000 homes across the state to expand supply and lower costs. In addition to more equitable housing solutions, Whitmer plans to invest in Michiganders by bringing more supply chains and jobs to Michigan through the state's economic development toolkit. As a hub for Michigan CDFI borrowers and lenders, we remain a source for individuals within Whitmer's 2024 economic growth initiatives! #CDFI #CommunityDevelopment #AffordableHousing #SmallBusiness #HomeOwnership #ConsumerLending #AttainableHousing #IncomeDiverse #BIPOCLending

Yesterday morning it was announced that there is going to be a DELAY in the FAFSA Data being downloaded to colleges until sometime in March due to a correction that the programmers are making to fix a COLA increase that was supposed to be included in the NEW Simplified FAFSA before it was released. What does this mean to you? Unfortunately, colleges that high school seniors applied to that only require the FAFSA will now be delaying when they will be sending out their Financial Aid Offers to students. This will, in turn, delay a family's ability to Appeal a Financial Aid Offer, which will delay their ability to make a final college decision, especially if they were counting on receiving some need-based financial aid. For colleges that require the CSS Profile in addition to the FAFSA, this will delay students receiving their FINAL Financial Aid Offer from the college. Many of these colleges have already sent out preliminary Financial Aid Offers. Needless to say, this is a messy transition to the NEW FAFSA that is taking place - but hang in there because I am confident everything will work out eventually. If you need some help with your FAFSA, feel free to schedule a meeting with me by visiting my website: https://lnkd.in/dF42bNVz Wishing you the very best!
