June 24 @ 8:30 am – 1:00 pm CDT
Join us to discuss the landscape around access to credit for low- and moderate-income communities in the St. Louis region and the role of cross-sector collaborations in navigating barriers and deepening financial well-being. The conversation will touch on the work of a broad group of stakeholders who will address:
- Supporting communities: Hear about national best practices for creating a regional approach to addressing credit gaps and learn from practitioners about efforts underway in St. Louis.
- Making connections: Discover the role of partnerships in boosting the financial well-being of low- and moderate-income workers.
- Informing decisions: Explore opportunities to scale and attract sources of capital that will help make credit more affordable and accessible.
