Your real odds
No public approval rate exists, but CDFIs are built to serve borrowers who don't qualify at traditional banks, so your odds here are better than at a conventional lender if you're in rural Louisiana.
SMFS weighs community impact over credit scores, which works in your favor if underserved geography or limited credit history has blocked you elsewhere.
