About The DOF
The DOF is a community development financial institution (CDFI), launched in April 2007, located in Albertson, New York and operating nationally. We are a 501c(3) tax exempt organization dedicated to providing housing opportunities for and advancing the needs of people with disabilities and their families.
“Charles Hammerman was interested in the single best way to make capital flow to create benefits for people with disabilities, to create partnerships and through them, channel money and change policy. The DOF brought to us a market we didn’t know existed, a model we think has enormous potential, and the right kind of leader for the challenge.”
