Ally Bank is one of the main digital banks in the US. They partner with CDCU to help with funding for CDCU's Housing Counseling Program.

Ally's motto is “Do It Right” with the idea that a financial company should demonstrate its values through what it actually does for customers, rather than just what it promises. It's a unified philosophy across their banking, auto finance, insurance and other financial businesses.

In 2024, Ally reported $17.7 million in charitable contributions, more than 61,000 volunteer hours, and 72.8% of employees participating through volunteering or donations. Employees receive paid volunteer time, and Ally provides matching contributions tied to volunteering.

A big thank you to Ally for supporting our community and helping us move CDCU's mission a little further.

If your landlord is asking you to pay cash for your rent, that's a red flag.đźš©

Many new renters may not know what to look out for when applying for a place to live. Like what they should be looking for or asking their landlords, and they may not know how to navigate situations if a problem arises.

CDCU, in partnership with Salt Lake City, has a Tenant Resource Center that can help with finding affordable housing, accessing rental assistance, handling a landlord issues, preventing eviction, reporting unsafe housing and other day-to-day concerns.

Introducing the Salt Lake City Community Reinvestment Agency!

A “reinvestment agency” is an entity authorized by the State of Utah that implements the development goals of communities and is governed by state statute.

The Community Reinvestment Agency of Salt Lake City (CRA) was established in the summer of 1969 to revitalize areas of Utah’s capital that had experienced disinvestment and neglect.

The CRA has since expanded its impact citywide creating project areas, supporting affordable housing, and investing in neighborhoods. .cra
