August 14 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm EDT
Join us for a presentation of key findings from the 2025 Community Perspectives Survey, conducted in April and May 2025. The survey captures the current conditions and future outlook of low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities across a range of critical issues, including:
- Economic mobility
- Labor market trends
- Housing
- Financial stability
- Small business conditions
- Health
- Digital access
- Education
The session will also explore the capacity and needs of organizations that serve LMI communities – focusing on their ability to deliver services, access resources, maintain staffing, and manage expenses.
