As a one-of-a-kind, non-partisan CDFI intermediary, NALCAB represents a national network of over 200 Latino-serving nonprofits and CDFIs working in all 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico. Our members advance economic opportunity through affordable housing, lending, financial counseling, and neighborhood development.
Through our public policy work, NALCAB engages directly with policymakers, federal agencies, and coalition partners to strengthen the environment in which our members operate. Our work focuses on advancing practical policy solutions that reflect the experiences of our network and support their efforts on the ground. We:
· Inform public policy with data, research, and practitioner insight
· Provide feedback and recommendations on federal rulemaking and programs
· Monitor legislation that impacts the communities we serve
· Equip members with timely policy updates and advocacy tools
We believe that investing in Latino communities contributes to broader economic strength and long-term prosperity for the entire nation.
Small businesses are this nation’s economic backbone: creating jobs, driving innovation, and fueling local economies. NALCAB supports policies that:
· Expand access to capital
· Strengthen entrepreneurial development
· Build community wealth
The housing market fails to meet the needs of many communities, limiting wealth-building and neighborhood growth. We advocate for policies that:
· Increase access to homeownership
· Expand affordable, healthy housing
· Promote community stability
Stronger communities start with local investment and opportunity. NALCAB supports efforts that:
· Grow neighborhood investment
· Align workforce development with local needs
· Support long-term economic strength
A fair, vibrant financial system is essential for consumer success and economic growth.
We advocate for:
· Broader access to capital
· Strong consumer protections
· Financial systems grounded in safety and soundness
