SUMMARY:Addressing Systemic Racism and Bias in the Housing Market
DESCRIPTION:Narrowing the Racial Homeownership Gap\, Part One\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is the first part of a two-part event series focused on narrowing the racial homeownership gap. Part Two: Practices\, Policies and Partnerships to Increase Black Homeownership is on Wednesday\, November 10\, 2021. \n\n\n\nHomeownership is viewed as the gateway to the American Dream and the primary mechanism for asset building in the US. However\, this has not been the case for many Black Americans because of the country’s long legacy of exclusionary housing policies. Today\, the gap in the homeownership rate between Black and white Americans is wider than it was before the civil rights movement. Households of color hold just one-eighth of the wealth of white households. Seventy-six percent of white households owned their homes at the end of the second quarter of 2020\, compared with just 47% of Black households. \n\n\n\nAddressing Systemic Racism and Bias in the Housing Market will focus on the lasting impact of systemic racism\, along with an analysis of how redlining and other discriminatory practices have widened the homeownership gap between Black and white people. It will suggest potential ways to make home financing more equitable and accessible to people of color and targeted solutions to help Black homeowners prosper in the long term. Please register by Monday\, November 8\, 2021. Full agenda. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nJunia Howell\, faculty member\, University of Illinois – Chicago  \n\n\n\nJosé Loya\, assistant professor in urban planning\, UCLA \n\n\n\nAracely Panameño\, director of Latino Affairs\, Center for Responsible Lending \n\n\n\nDr. Andre Perry\, senior fellow\, Brookings \n\n\n\nLisa Rice\, president and CEO\, National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) \n\n\n\nWilliam “Bill” M.

SUMMARY:The Great Resignation and Long-Term Unemployment
DESCRIPTION:Join the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and AARP for a virtual event examining current labor market issues\, The Great Resignation and Long-Term Unemployment\, on Tuesday\, November 9\, at 2 pm ET. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic continues\, progress has been made to reduce the number of long-term unemployed workers. According to September 2021 US Bureau of Labor Statistics data\, 2.7 million workers in the United States are long-term unemployed\, and almost half of age 55+ job seekers are considered long-term unemployed. At the same time\, a record 4.3 million US workers quit their jobs in August and 20 million workers have resigned if measured back to April\, according to the Department of Labor. Meanwhile\, the United States is facing a severe labor shortage. \n\n\n\nBringing workers\, especially the long-term unemployed\, back into the labor force will require a dedicated effort from governments\, employers\, and worker support organizations. Filling job openings and increased labor force participation rates are essential to the recovery of the US economy. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a conversation on current labor market issues. You’ll hear from government leaders\, industry leaders\, and academics on solutions to increase labor force participation rates.

SUMMARY:Investing in Rural Prosperity: A Framework for Advancing Shared Economic Prosperity in Rural Communities across the United States
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAcross the country\, many vulnerable rural communities were still striving to fully recover from the Great Recession when the COVID-19 pandemic struck. The pandemic– and the steep economic downturn caused by the measures implemented to limit its spread– hit many vulnerable rural communities particularly hard: from low-wage meatpacking workers in the Midwest to Native communities in the Southwest\, and from Black Americans in the Southeast to immigrant farmworkers in the West. \n\n\n\nRecognizing the precarious situation many of these communities faced before the pandemic\, and the tough work they have ahead of them in recovery\, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis are jointly publishing Investing in Rural Prosperity\, which details a framework for advancing shared economic prosperity in rural communities across the United States. \n\n\n\nThe session celebrates the unique assets in rural communities\, while making the case for continued investment—specifically in low-income or otherwise under-resourced rural communities. In making this case\, speakers will reveal a new “TRIC” framework from the book. The “TRIC” framework proposes the most successful rural development efforts are tailored to the specific goals\, assets\, and organizational infrastructure of the community; designed to be resilient to changing circumstances; intentionally inclusive about who is at the decision-making table and who benefits from local development; and are created and carried out through a collaborative process. \n\n\n\nAs rural communities seek to recover from the pandemic\, this approach will help economic development practitioners\, policymakers\, funders and researchers in providing inclusive\, sustainable access to economic opportunity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nDaniel Paul Davis\, vice president and community affairs officer\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis \n\n\n\nAndrew Dumont\, senior community development analyst\, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System \n\n\n\nDonna Gambrell\, president and CEO\, Appalachian Community Capital \n\n\n\nJustin Maxson\, deputy undersecretary for rural development\, United States Department of Agriculture \n\n\n\nLisa Mensah\, president and CEO\, Opportunity Finance Network \n\n\n\nMarietta Rodriguez\, president and CEO\, NeighborWorks America \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by

SUMMARY:Increasing Black Homeownership in the Puget Sound Region
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco indicates that various forms of institutional and interpersonal discrimination—for example\, in homeownership and employment—have led to disproportionately fewer wealth-building opportunities for people of color. These disparities compound over time and are consequential\, as wealth is an essential buffer against economic shocks\, and enables individuals and families to plan for the future and invest in the next generation.   \n\n\n\nAligning interests and resources that focus on equity\, infrastructure development\, housing production and preservation\, and underwriting and lending\, could lead to increasing the Black homeownership rate. This is what compelled all the organizations involved in this initiative to build an impact network\, develop a draft 7-point plan\, and now engage CRA officers to help refine and implement the plan. Join us on November 17th for a conversation about how your institution can support this work. \n\n\n\nThe Coalition for More Housing Choices is supporting this work in partnership with Algonquin Group\, Housing Development Consortium\, Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties\, National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) – Western Washington Realtist/Seattle Chapter\, Nehemiah Initiative Seattle\, Northwest Credit Union Association\, Washington Bankers Association\, Washington Employers for Racial Equity\, Washington Homeownership Resource Center\, Washington Mortgage Bankers Association\, Washington Roundtable\, Washington State Department of Commerce\, and Washington State Housing Finance Commission. \n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by

SUMMARY:Toward an Inclusive Recovery: Increasing the Housing Security of Vulnerable Renters Through Rental Assistance
DESCRIPTION:The United States has always had vulnerabilities in the rental housing market that the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated and revealed. Join us on November 17\, 2021\, for a research seminar that will examine what we’ve learned from the administration of emergency rental relief and evaluate universal vouchers as a long-term solution for increasing housing security among renters. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMillions of renters accrued billions of dollars in rental debt as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To respond to this growing crisis\, the federal government provided substantial funding for rental assistance\, which states and localities administered. As we recover from the pandemic\, it is essential to evaluate the effectiveness of these emergency relief programs and understand the impact they had on keeping renters housed. The lessons learned from the design and implementation of these policies and programs will be crucial for helping renters navigate future economic shocks. However\, to support an inclusive and equitable recovery\, it is important to consider how universal rental assistance could address the rental affordability crisis that has existed long before the pandemic. \n\n\n\nThis seminar is part of a Federal Reserve Community Development Research Seminar Series focused on supporting an inclusive recovery. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2:00-2:10 pm ET \n\n\n\n\n\nOpening remarks\n\n\n\nMatuschka Lindo Briggs\, Director of Special Projects and Strategic Support\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  \n\n\n\nPeggy Bailey\, Senior Advisor on Rental Assistance\, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2:10-3:05 pm ET \n\n\n\n\n\nPanel 1: Emergency rental assistance programs\n\n\n\nElora Raymond\, Assistant Professor of City and Regional Planning\, Georgia Institute of Technology  \n\n\n\nElizabeth Strom\, Associate Professor\, University of South Florida \n\n\n\nRebecca Yae\, Senior Research Analyst\, National Low Income Housing Coalition \n\n\n\nGiselle Routhier\, Postdoctoral Fellow at Health x Housing Lab\, NYU Langone Health \n\n\n\nModerator: Matuschka Lindo Briggs\, Director of Special Projects and Strategic Support\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3:05 pm-3:15 pm ET \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3:15-4:10 pm ET \n\n\n\n\n\nPanel 2: Universal rental housing vouchers\n\n\n\nPrentiss Dantzler\, Assistant Professor of Sociology\, University of Toronto    \n\n\n\nVincent Reina\, Associate Professor\, University of Pennsylvania \n\n\n\nEva Rosen\, Assistant Professor\, Georgetown McCourt School of Public Policy \n\n\n\nGregg Colburn\, Assistant Professor of Real Estate\, University of Washington \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4:10-4:20 pm ET \n\n\n\n\n\nClosing remarks\n\n\n\nRaphael Bostic\, President and CEO\, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta \n\n\n\nModerator: Matuschka Lindo Briggs\, Director of Special Projects and Strategic Support\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by

SUMMARY:Combating Food Insecurity: What's Working – and What's Scalable?
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on November 30\, 2021 at 10:30 AM for a virtual event\, Combating Food Insecurity: What’s Working and What’s Scalable? The event will feature leaders\, from all sectors of the food system\, who are investing in and deploying market-based solutions and interventions to help ensure that everyone has access to healthy and affordable food ─ one of the most critical determinants of health.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFood insecurity is detrimental to the economy. More than 38 million people were considered food insecure in 2020\, relying on food pantries and community-based programs.  Meanwhile\, 30 to 40 percent of all food produced in the United States goes to waste for a loss of $161 billion per year. While food insecurity reflects many systemic challenges\, addressing it presents a number of opportunities to be explored. \n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by
