Falcon Wins Research Grant to Study CDFI Mortgage Lending

Falcon Capital Advisors is pleased to share that it won a research grant from The Center for Impact Finance, with funding provided by the Citi Foundation’s Community Finance Innovation Fund, to support research on Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) activity in the single-family mortgage space. The study will be the first to examine how CDFIs support homeownership and do a deep dive into the products offered, the borrowers served, and the business models used by the CDFI lenders.
