SUMMARY:Small Dollar Mortgages: Increasing Affordable Housing Options for Lower-Income Households
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Small-Dollar Mortgages: Increasing Affordable Housing Options for Lower-Income Households to learn about the benefits of\, challenges to\, and resources available for originating small-dollar mortgages. Help your community increase affordable housing—and access to homeownership—for low- and moderate-income residents. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIncreasing the availability of affordable housing options for lower-income renters is a priority for many communities. With an increase in housing prices and falling supply during the COVID-19 pandemic\, the nation’s housing affordability has continued to deteriorate. Rents have increased dramatically in the last year\, and lower-income renters struggle to find housing they can afford. Without affordable places to live\, lower-income renters—many already overburdened by the cost of housing—often must make trade-offs that jeopardize their health\, safety\, and well-being. \n\n\n\nWhile there is no shortage of policy solutions for addressing the affordable housing crisis\, most of them overlook homeownership. And though there is a need for affordable rental units\, renting does not always provide residents with the long-term affordability and security that homeowning could. Contrary to popular belief\, owning one’s own home can be more affordable\, even for lower-income families\, than renting. In fact\, it is cheaper to buy a home than it is to rent in two thirds of the country’s counties. \n\n\n\nAcross the nation\, properties costing $100\,000 or less would qualify for small-dollar mortgages. In many cases\, if a low-income or cost-burdened renter purchased one of these homes\, the monthly mortgage payment would be significantly cheaper than a rent payment\, allowing the homeowner to build savings and equity and increase housing security. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nOpening remarks \n\n\n\nTracey Mason\, Assistant Vice President and Director\, Community Development Outreach and Operations\, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland \n\n\n\nPanelists \n\n\n\nKimberly Kreiss\, Data Scientist\, Federal Reserve Board of Governors \n\n\n\nGreg Perelka\, Executive Vice President\, CHN Housing Capital \n\n\n\nJamie Rice\, Managing Director\, Single-Family Programs\, Kentucky Housing Corporation \n\n\n\nGabe del Rio\, President and Chief Executive Officer\, Homeownership Council of America \n\n\n\nEdward Seiler\, Associate Vice President for Housing Economics and Executive Director\, Research Institute for Housing America (RIHA) \n\n\n\nModerated by Faith Weekly\, Community Development Advisor\, Neighborhoods and Housing\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis \n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by

Fed Communities is the first stop for Federal Reserve community development information which seeks to amplify the Fed’s work in low- and moderate-income communities and other underserved areas. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nTwo years after the first reported cases of SARS COVID-19\, economic recovery is finally underway.

The Federal Reserve has research\, data\, tools\, and expertise applicable to key challenges facing communities today. Learn how you and the communities you serve can benefit from the Fed’s work on these issues. \n\n\n\nTopics include: \n\n\n\n\n\nSupporting economic mobility and career advancement [benefits CLIFF tools]\n\n\n\n\n\nUnderstanding small business owners’ experiences accessing the credit they seek to be viable to grow [SBCS]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere will be an opportunity for questions following the presentation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlfreda NormanFed Communities Chair &Senior Vice PresidentDallas Fed \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlex RuderPrincipal AdvisorCommunity and Economic DevelopmentAtlanta Fed \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLisa VidacsFed Communities Deputy Chair &Senior Vice PresidentCleveland Fed \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmily Wavering CorcoranProgram ManagerSmall Business Credit SurveyCleveland Fed \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by

SUMMARY:Evictions and the Rental Market\, Now and after the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has had outsized impact on the rental market. Renters who have lost work have faced serious risk of eviction but have also been buoyed by a patchwork of programs and policies. Some of the burden of supporting tenants has fallen to landlords\, who suffer cashflow constraints when tenants are unable to pay their rent. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the CDC moratorium on evictions has ended\, we look to researchers and practitioners to understand what has happened and what comes next for tenants\, landlords\, and the rental market. What are the risks that remain? Are current policies managing them effectively? What lessons can we carry forward to ensure rental housing needs are met? \n\n\n\nJoin us for what promises to be an engaging and interactive conversation during our FedTalk on October 7.
