Advocacy for CDFIs and Access to Capital

This clip highlights a bipartisan commitment to expanding Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) as a critical resource for providing access to capital in underserved communities. Senator Warner reflects on successful bipartisan efforts, including a $12 billion investment under the previous administration and the creation of a CDFI caucus that brought together 24 bipartisan senators. The discussion also touches on innovative ideas, such as creating a secondary market and rewarding patient capital to support CDFIs further.
