"The goal is to break down the cultural and functional barriers that stand between low-income immigrant residents and mainstream financial services," said Paola Diaz-Torres, who will serve as CEO of the new CDCU. "Our project aims to serve low-income individuals from the Hispanic community who struggle to build assets due to a lack of financial sophistication or access to affordable financial products."
Organizers seek more supporters and resources, after having raised nearly $1 million in combined cash and in-kind donations.
