Core Issues

On this page, you will find information about Opportunity Finance Network’s core policy issues, as well as our top policy recommendations for how the federal government can best support these policy solutions.

In 2008, OFN published its policy book, The NEXT American Opportunity: Good Policies for a Great America. The book showcases OFN’s core issues through the lens of the opportunity finance industry’s 30 years of responsible, successful lending with significant data, more than 40 stunning stories – and scores of sound, proven, promising policy proposals to create opportunities for low-income and low-wealth individuals and their communities.

Much of the information on this page comes from the NEXT American Opportunity project. For a comprehensive look at all of the policy articles and recommendations found in The NEXT American Opportunity, please visit www.nextamericanopportunity.org.
