When the Government Shuts Down: CDFIs Left in Limbo

We’re hitting pause on our Starfish Stories to talk about what’s making headlines right now — the federal government shutdown. It’s not just political drama in DC; it’s already having real consequences. The staff of the CDFI Fund has been laid off, and that’s sending shockwaves through the community development finance world.

In this episode, we unpack what’s happening, what it means for CDFIs and the communities they serve, and how we can all respond when the systems we rely on stall.

Because when the government shuts down, the work doesn’t stop — and neither do we.
