@oscarthinks calls the State Small Business Credit Initiative "the most important small business lending program you've never heard of". I've been thrilled to lead implementation efforts w @CDFA_Update (quoted throughout) since #SSBCI was reauthorized in the #AmericanRescuePlan.
This federal program is giving $10 billion to states to make small business loans. States that reach historically marginalized communities are eligible for bonus funding: nextcity.org/daily/entry/mos…

We look forward to working with Congress + @JanetYellen to reauthorize the State Small Business Credit Initiative. DFAs are ready to deploy this powerful $8:1 program immediately to support small biz. See all SSBCI info from @CDFA_Update: cdfa.net/z/ssbci @CDFA_LegFed
One thing is clear from the jobs report: We need to invest in small businesses. Not only will they be at the center of the recovery, they have been the hardest hit. We recognize that, and will provide assistance and focus on the businesses that serve the hardest hit communities.

How many members did TIDC have when the need for a permanent central administrative office became apparent? The answer is... 132 members! Hard to believe we were every that small, especially considering how we currently have 800 members from across the state.
