NYS CDFI COALITION: Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) have been working with the CDFI Fund for more than thirty years to provide capital to under-resourced communities. During the pandemic, we served as financial first responders, deploying funds to keep up with the expectations of our clients and the urgent needs of the underserved. We continue to meet enormous market demand, providing capital for housing, small business, and. community revitalization. Support from the CDFI Fund allows us to maximize our impact in New York’s low-income areas - urban, rural and everywhere in between. Local CDFIs develop unique programs and tailored resources by leveraging federal dollars with private capital. Grants from the CDFI Fund of the US Department of Treasury, blended with lending capital from commercial banks and other resources, allow local CDFIs to offer loans at lower rates to borrowers who may not be able to access traditional bank financing. These grants are not spent down, as traditional grants are. Instead, as loans are repaid, the funds are recycled into new projects. In addition to lending, we offer technical assistance to our borrowers to help them develop much-needed housing, build businesses, and revitalize neighborhoods. The Constitution gave the power of the purse – the nation’s checkbook – to Congress. We urge our representatives to reclaim their Constitutional spending authority, safeguard our nation’s separation of powers, and stand against the elimination of the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund. https://www.nyscdfi.org/

WIPE OUT CERVICAL CANCER: We have the power to wipe out cervical cancer. Yet, a recent U.S. study shows that more cervical cancers are being diagnosed at a later stage, when the cancer may have already spread, and less at an early stage, when treatment works best. The biggest increase was seen among Black women. New York State data also show that Black women are more likely than white women to be diagnosed with cervical cancer and also to die from the disease. We have the tools to find cervical cancer early or completely prevent it. The first tool is regular cervical cancer screening. Cervical cancer screening tests can find the cells that lead to cancer before it starts. These cells can then be removed. This prevents cancer! Screening also helps to find cervical cancer early when it may be easier to treat. The second tool is the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. HPV causes nearly all cases of cervical cancer and several other cancers. The HPV vaccine prevents about 90% of HPV-related cancers. The HPV vaccine is recommended for children starting at age 9 and young adults through age 26. If you have a cervix, start screening at age 21 and get screened every three years until age 65. Talk to your doctor after age 65 to see if you should still be screened. While the HPV vaccine is very effective in preventing cervical cancer, you should still be screened regularly. If you don’t have insurance, the Cancer Services Program (CSP) of Northeastern NY provides free cervical cancer screening to those aged 40 and older who qualify. Most health insurers cover screening at no cost for those with insurance. Call your health care provider or call us at 518-324-7671 to see if you qualify for a free cervical cancer screening.
