Your real odds
No acceptance rate is published, but as a CDFI with over 45 years in the region, they have an explicit mission to fund businesses banks turn away.
Their focus on loan-readiness support suggests they work with applicants who aren't yet ready and help them get there, rather than simply rejecting them outright.
