People with disabilities (PWD) make up over 61 million Americans, yet they remain significantly underserved by the financial system facing significant barriers to accessing financial services and essential accessibility products that can dramatically improve quality of life. This gap in service isn't just a challenge, it's a tremendous opportunity for Community Development Credit Unions (CDCUs) to lead the way in providing equitable access to credit while driving impactful change.
