PROXY STATEMENT
Annual Meeting of Stockholders
Wednesday, June 22, 2016

GENERAL INFORMATION

       This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Broadway Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at the Company's principal executive offices, 5055 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 500, Los Angeles, California, 90036, at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 22, 2016, and at any postponement or adjournment thereof. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy were first mailed to stockholders on or about May 20, 2016.

       The Company was incorporated under Delaware law in September 1995 for the purpose of acquiring and holding all of the outstanding capital stock of Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b. ("Broadway Federal" or the "Bank") as part of the Bank's conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings and loan association to a federally chartered stock savings bank (the "Conversion"). The Conversion was completed and the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on January 8, 1996. Throughout this Proxy Statement, the terms "we", "us", "our" and the "Company" refer to Broadway Financial Corporation, and, unless otherwise indicated, such references include the Bank as the Company's predecessor.

THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS ARE
AVAILABLE AT http://www.broadwayfederalbank.com

RECORD DATE AND VOTING OF SHARES

       The Board has selected May 6, 2016 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. A total of 21,405,188 shares of the Company's voting common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Voting Common Stock"), were outstanding at the close of business on that date. A majority of the shares of Voting Common Stock entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders will be entitled to cast one vote for each share of Voting Common Stock held by them of record at the close of business on the record date on any matter that may be presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration and action by the stockholders and on which they are entitled to vote.

       Abstentions will be treated as shares of Voting Common Stock that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but as not voted for purposes of determining the

1

approval of any matter submitted for a vote of the stockholders. If a broker indicates on its proxy that the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter as to certain shares of Voting Common Stock, commonly referred to as "broker non-votes", then those shares will be counted for general quorum purposes, but will not be considered as present and entitled to vote with respect to that matter.

       A plurality of votes cast by the holders of shares of Voting Common Stock is required for the election of directors. The affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of Voting Common Stock voting on the proposal will be required to: (i) ratify the appointment of Moss Adams LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and (ii) adopt the non-binding proposal to approve executive compensation described in this Proxy Statement. Thus, abstentions and broker non-votes will not have any effect in the voting on these proposals.

       All valid proxies received in response to this solicitation will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated thereon by the stockholders giving such proxies. If no contrary instructions are given, such proxies will be voted FOR the election of the nominees named in this Proxy Statement as directors, and FOR approval of each of the other proposals described in this Proxy Statement. Although the Board currently knows of no other matter to be presented at the Annual Meeting, if other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting and may properly be acted upon, the proxies solicited hereby will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the persons named in such proxies.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

       Any stockholder may revoke his or her proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by delivering a later signed and dated proxy card or other written notice of revocation to Alice Wong, Assistant Secretary of the Company, at 5055 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 500, Los Angeles, California 90036. A proxy will also be considered revoked if the stockholder executing the proxy is present at the Annual Meeting and chooses to vote in person.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

       Proxies are being solicited by this Proxy Statement on behalf of the Board. The principal solicitation of proxies is being conducted by mail. Computershare, the Company's transfer agent, will assist in the solicitation of proxies at no additional fee except for reimbursement of certain expenses. To the extent necessary, proxies may be solicited by officers, directors and employees of the Company or the Bank, and the Company's financial advisor, none of whom will receive additional compensation for such solicitation. Proxies may be solicited by telephone, personal contact or other means. The Company will bear the cost of this solicitation of proxies, including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse brokers and other nominee holders of shares of the Company's Common Stock for their expenses incurred in forwarding solicitation material to beneficial owners of such shares.

Director Independence

       We have adopted standards for director independence pursuant to the Nasdaq Stock Market ("NASDAQ") listing standards. The Board has considered relationships, transactions and/or arrangements with each of its directors, including those disclosed below under "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions", and has determined that all of the Company's non-employee directors are "independent" under applicable NASDAQ listing standards and Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules.

Board Leadership Structure

       The Company currently operates under a leadership structure in which the positions of Chairman and the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company have been separated, such that each position is held by a different person. The position of Chairman of the Board is held by Mr. Roberts, who is an independent director. As the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Roberts provides leadership to the Board and works with the Board and executive management to define the Board's structure and coordinate its activities in the fulfillment of its responsibilities. In addition, he presides over periodic executive sessions of the Board, coordinates the agenda for meetings and serves as a liaison between the independent directors and management.

       Mr. Bradshaw serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As such, he has general charge, supervision and management of the business affairs of the Company, and is responsible for

7

assuring that policy decisions of the Board are implemented as adopted. He, in conjunction with the Board, is responsible for the development and implementation of the Company's strategic plans.

       The Board intends to continue to separate the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions. This structure ensures a greater role for the independent directors in the oversight of the Company and active participation of the independent directors in setting agendas and establishing priorities and procedures for the work of the Board. In addition, this structure allows Mr. Bradshaw to focus his attention on implementing the Company's strategic plans, while a separate Chairman can devote full attention to Board leadership functions. The Board will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Risk Oversight

       The Board's role in the Company's risk management process includes reviewing regular reports from senior management on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial, legal, regulatory, strategic and reputational risks. The Board reviews these reports to enable it to understand and assess the Company's risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies. While the Board has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, various committees of both management and the Board also have responsibility for risk management. The Enterprise Risk Management Committee reviews the development, implementation and maintenance of risk management processes from a Company-wide perspective, and assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company's risk management policies. In accordance with our audit committee charter, the Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of the Company's risk assessment and risk management policies as well as the procedures and the safety and soundness of the Company. The Loan Committee evaluates and manages credit risk and loan concentration risk, while the Internal Asset Review Committee reviews loan classifications and loss risk in the Bank's loan portfolio. In addition, the Asset and Liability Committee manages investment, interest rate, and financial risk exposure, the Compensation and Benefits Committee oversees the management of risks relating to our executive and non-executive compensation plans and arrangements and the Corporate Governance Committee manages risks associated with the independence of the Board of Directors, potential conflicts of interest, and overall governance of the Company. While each committee oversees certain risks and the management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed of such risks through committee and management reports.

Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Director

       The Company's Corporate Governance Committee is charged with the responsibilities of identifying and recommending candidates to the Board to be nominated for election as directors. The committee considers candidates suggested by its members, other directors and stockholders in anticipation of upcoming director elections and other potential or expected Board vacancies. The committee will consider candidates nominated by stockholders provided that the stockholder submitting a nomination has complied with procedures set forth in the Company's Bylaws. See "Stockholder Proposals for Presentation at the Annual Meeting" for additional information regarding stockholder nominations of director candidates.

       All director candidates, including those nominated by stockholders, are evaluated on the same basis. In determining the needs of the Board and the Company, the Corporate Governance Committee considers the qualifications of current directors and consults with other members of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and, where appropriate, external advisors. Generally the committee believes that all directors should exemplify the highest standards of personal and professional integrity, have broad experience in

8

positions with a high degree of responsibility and the ability to commit adequate time and effort to serve as a director. Director candidates who are not current directors are interviewed by members of the committee and the Chief Executive Officer and the results of those interviews are considered by the committee and the Board in their deliberations.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The following Audit Committee Report does not constitute soliciting material and shall not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other filings by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate this Report by reference.

       The Audit Committee oversees the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for the consolidated financial statements and the reporting process, including the Company's systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Committee reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles applied, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

       The Committee reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm, who is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the audited consolidated financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, its judgments as to the quality, as well as the acceptability, of the Company's accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Committee under standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"), including Auditing Standards ("AS") 16, "Communications with Audit Committees". In addition, the Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the auditors' independence from management and the Company, including the matters in the written disclosures received by the Committee as required by the rules of the PCAOB regarding the independence of such auditors, and has considered the compatibility of non-audit services provided by the auditors with the auditors' independence.

       The Committee discussed with the Company's internal and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Committee meets with the internal and independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations or audits, their evaluations of the Company's internal controls and the overall quality of the Company's financial reporting.

       In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Committee also approved the selection of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
