Clearinghouse CDFI

Clearinghouse CDFI www.clearinghousecdfi.com We spend the time and energy required to find creditworthy borrowers whose projects create assets in the community.

Our Vision
At Clearinghouse CDFI we believe in providing equal access to credit in neighborhoods of all income levels and ethnicities. These borrowers, because of their unique circumstances, are rejected or not even considered by traditional lenders. Community development lending must be profitable in order to be sustained. As with conventional lenders, we carefully evaluate each applicant’s abil

ity to repay the loan. Unlike traditional lenders, we do not have predefined loan programs. We analyze each loan application individually. Every loan we make benefits the community in a measurable way.

We were proud to welcome U.S. Representative Young Kim for a site visit to The Teen Project today alongside Opportunity Finance Network and the California Coalition for Community Investment CCCI.
