SUMMARY:Fed Talk: A Conversation with Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President Beth Hammack

She then brings their insights into how the economy is working for their communities to the Federal Reserve’s policy-setting meeting in Washington DC. \n\n\n\nThere are 12 Reserve Banks across the country. Each serves a specific region\, and all Reserve Banks operate under the umbrella of the Federal Reserve System. \n\n\n\nThe primary functions of the Federal Reserve concern \n\n\n\n\n\nMonetary policy: Setting US monetary policy to promote maximum employment and stable prices in the US economy. The aim is to protect your standard of living.\n\n\n\nSupervision and regulation: Promoting the safety and soundness of individual financial institutions and monitoring their impact on the financial system. As a result\, you can be confident the bank you choose is operating in a safe and sound manner.\n\n\n\nPayments systems: Promoting a safe\, efficient\, and accessible system for US dollar transactions.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Home Equity in Wealth Building
DESCRIPTION:Owning a home is an important wealth-building tool. When a home’s value appreciates\, the equity that accrues can serve as a valuable resource for emergency expenses\, essential home repairs\, or income-enhancing investments like education or training. \n\n\n\nFor many Americans\, their home is their largest asset. Roughly 65 percent of households in the United States own their homes\, and housing continues to represent the largest share of household wealth. Yet research shows there are significant differences in how homeowners leverage their home equity. A Philadelphia Fed study revealed that wealth-building pathways through homeownership vary significantly by household and neighborhood. A key finding was that residents’ experiences with refinancing mortgages and debt varied widely. \n\n\n\nIn support of the Philadelphia Fed’s goal of promoting a sound financial system and a strong\, healthy economy\, this event aims to examine wealth building in low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities through the lens of home equity.  \n\n\n\nWhy Attend?\n\n\n\nJoin speakers\, panelists\, and your peers to examine the importance of home equity in wealth building\, explore a data-driven approach to identifying households vulnerable to the loss of home equity\, and advance solutions that preserve and protect home equity in LMI communities. \n\n\n\nPresentations will include “The Role of Home Equity in Wealth Building” and “Using Data to Prevent the Loss of Home Equity in New York City.” Panelists will also explore the importance of financial products and services that allow LMI homeowners to safely access home equity\, specifically in times of financial vulnerability. \n\n\n\nSpeakers will include: \n\n\n\n\n\nKen Benton\, Principal Consumer Regulations Specialist\, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia;\n\n\n\nChristopher Cummins\, Staff Attorney\, Homeownership Rights\, SeniorLAW Center;\n\n\n\nMatthew Murphy\, Executive Director\, NYU Furman Center; \n\n\n\nSamantha Porter\, Senior Advisor\, Community Engagement\, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia;\n\n\n\nMaureen Yap\, Vice President of Public Policy and Senior Counsel for Fair Lending\, National Fair Housing Alliance; and\n\n\n\nSisi Zhang\, Community Development Economic Advisor\, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. \n\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend?\n\n\n\nProfessionals working in the housing and financial services sectors\, funders and nonprofits serving LMI communities\, and policymakers in the Third District are encouraged to attend.  \n\n\n\nThis event is complimentary\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Connecting Communities: CDFIs Unpacked: Trends and Takeaways from Mission-Driven Lenders
DESCRIPTION:Watch on demand \n\n\n\nEvery two years\, the 12 Federal Reserve Banks survey community development financial institutions (CDFIs) about industry conditions. Join us to hear more about what they’ve shared\, including \n\n\n\n\n\nhow demand for CDFIs’ products and services changed over the past year and may evolve in the future\, \n\n\n\nhow CDFIs leverage public funding to accomplish their work\, and\n\n\n\nwhat challenges CDFIs encountered in meeting demand and delivering on their mission.\n\n\n\n\n\nIn addition to the CDFI Survey\, Federal Reserve Staff connect with community development lenders and financial institutions to better understand economic conditions for a broad range of consumers\, individuals\, and businesses. Attendees will hear more about this outreach\, including how the Federal Reserve engages with local community development lenders and what we’ve learned from several CDFI success stories. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSurekha CarpenterSenior Research AnalystFederal Reserve Bank of Richmond \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThomas GuerraSenior Outreach AdvisorFederal Reserve Bank of Dallas \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTaylor PessinIntermediate Research AnalystFederal Reserve Bank of Richmond \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlison ShottSenior AdvisorFederal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSydney DiavuaAssistant Vice PresidentFederal Reserve Bank of St. Louis(moderator) \n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Connecting Communities®\n\n\n\nReal people.
