Question: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Investing in America's Small
Businesses Act of 2017''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) Small businesses in underserved areas have for
generations been unable to access affordable credit.
(2) A 2013 report commissioned by the U.S. Small Business
Administration shows the major constraint limiting the growth,
expansion, and wealth creation of small firms--especially
women- and minority-owned businesses--is inadequate capital.
(3) Small businesses revitalize communities by creating
jobs, and also contribute to the local tax base, which helps
finance investments in schools, hospitals, infrastructure, and
public safety.
(4) A 2015 report from the Carsey School of Public Policy
at the University of New Hampshire found that 79 percent of
CDFI loan volume went to borrowers from underserved
populations.
(5) During the financial crisis, CDFI loan funds expanded
their activity to meet increased demand from borrowers that
could not access traditional lending. From 2006 to 2009, the
median fund deployment ratio grew 3.1 percent annually.
(6) After Superstorm Sandy, CDFIs launched disaster
recovery loan programs and reached out to affected businesses
and organizations to provide credit to help grocery stores and
social service organizations re-open to help communities in
need.
(7) A 2014 report by the Dardin School of Business at the
University of Virginia found that despite serving predominately
low-income markets, CDFI banks and credit unions had virtually
the same level of performance as mainstream financial
institutions.
