SUMMARY:What's Ahead for the Community Reinvestment Act: A Discussion
DESCRIPTION:A virtual session this July will explain the first major changes proposed in more than a quarter century to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nHosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland\, the session titled What’s Ahead for the Community Reinvestment Act: A Discussion will take place from 2 to 3 pm ET on July 14. We encourage you to submit questions before the event\, and we encourage you to tell others you know who have an interest in the landmark law\, enacted 45 years ago to encourage banks to help meet the credit needs of their local communities\, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods\, in a safe and sound manner. \n\n\n\nFederal bank regulatory agencies—the Fed\, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation\, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency—jointly issued a proposal on May 5 to strengthen and modernize regulations implementing the CRA to better achieve the purposes of the law. \n\n\n\nBuilding on feedback from stakeholders and research\, the agencies invite public comment on their joint proposal\, which has the following key aims. \n\n\n\nExpand access to credit\, investment\, and basic banking services in low- and moderate-income communities. Under the proposal\, the agencies would evaluate bank performance across the varied activities they conduct and communities in which they operate so that CRA is a strong and effective tool to address inequities in access to credit. The proposal would promote community engagement and financial inclusion. It would also emphasize smaller-value loans and investments that can have high impact and be more responsive to the needs of LMI communities. \n\n\n\nAdapt to changes in the banking industry\, including internet and mobile banking. The proposal would update CRA assessment areas to include activities associated with online and mobile banking\, branchless banking\, and hybrid models. \n\n\n\nProvide greater clarity\, consistency\, and transparency. The proposal would adopt a metrics-based approach to CRA evaluations of retail lending and community development financing\, which includes public benchmarks\, for greater clarity and consistency. It also would clarify eligible CRA activities\, such as affordable housing\, that are focused on LMI\, underserved\, and rural communities. \n\n\n\nTailor CRA evaluations and data collection to bank size and type. The proposal recognizes differences in bank size and business models. It provides that smaller banks would continue to be evaluated under the existing CRA regulatory framework with the option to be evaluated under aspects of the new proposed framework. \n\n\n\nMaintain a unified approach. The proposal reflects a unified approach from the bank regulatory agencies and incorporates extensive feedback from stakeholders. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, visit the Federal Reserve Board’s CRA Proposed Rulemaking website. \n\n\n\nComments on the proposal will be accepted through August 5\, 2022 \, via this website. (The July 14 virtual session will welcome Q&A but is not a channel through which we will formally collect input.) \n\n\n\nRegistration for the webinar is now available. \n\n\n\nPresented by

SUMMARY:Voices of CDFIs\, MDIs\, and LICUs: A Listening Session on CRA Proposed Rulemaking
DESCRIPTION:Cara Ewing/Minneapolis Fed\n\n\n\nThe Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis invites you to a July 14\, 2022\, virtual discussion and listening session on how Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) proposed rulemaking could more effectively address the investment and credit needs of community development financial institutions (CDFIs)\, minority depository institutions (MDIs)\, and low-income credit unions (LICUs). \n\n\n\nYour feedback on the modernization process will help us ensure that regulatory changes lead to a more effective CRA. We encourage you to voice your comments and questions about the modernization proposal during this important conversation. You are also welcome to provide written comments about the proposal at any time before August 5\, 2022. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nMichou Kokodoko\, Project Director\, Community Development and Engagement\, Minneapolis Fed \n\n\n\nMichael Grover\, Assistant Vice President\, Community Development and Engagement\, Minneapolis Fed \n\n\n\nMolly Majerle\, Supervisory Examiner\, Minneapolis Fed \n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n10:00 am | Welcome \n\n\n\n10:05 am | A primer on the CRA Molly Majerle\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis   \n\n\n\n10:20 am | Highlights of CDFI-\, MDI-\, and LICU-related provisions in the CRA Notice of Proposed RulemakingMichou Kokodoko\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis  \n\n\n\n10:35 am | Audience discussion of key issues relating to CDFIs\, MDIs\, and LICUs \n\n\n\nFacilitated by Michou Kokodoko and Michael Grover\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis \n\n\n\nFrom the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking:    \n\n\n\n\nShould the agencies [the Federal Reserve\, OCC\, and FDIC] also include in the MDI definition insured credit unions considered to be MDIs by the National Credit Union Administration? Should the agencies consider activities undertaken by an MDI or WDI [women’s depository institution] to promote its own sustainability and profitability? If so\, should additional eligibility criteria be considered to ensure investments will more directly benefit low- and moderate-income and other underserved communities? Should the proposed factor focused on activities supporting MDIs\, WDIs\, LICUs\, and Treasury Department-certified CDFIs exclude placements of short-term deposits\, and should any other activities be excluded? Should the criterion specifically emphasize equity investments\, long-term debt financing\, donations\, and services\, and should other activities be emphasized? Should the agencies provide more specific guidance regarding what credit products and programs may be considered especially responsive\, or is it preferable to provide general criteria so as not to discourage a bank from pursuing impactful and responsive activities that may deviate from the specific examples? \n\n\n\n\n11:15 a.m. | Adjourn   \n\n\n\nYour feedback on the modernization process will help us ensure that regulatory changes lead to a more effective CRA. We encourage you to voice your comments and questions about the modernization proposal during this important conversation. You are also welcome to provide written comments about the proposal at any time before August 5\, 2022.  \n\n\n\nPresented by

SUMMARY:Exploring the Racial Wealth Gap: The Contributions of Redlining and Blockbusting
DESCRIPTION:Join the Chicago Fed Economic Mobility Project’s virtual event\, Exploring the Racial Wealth Gap: The Contributions of Redlining and Blockbusting\, on Tuesday\, July 12\, 2022\, from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm CT (2:00 pm to 3:30 pm ET)\, when we will explore the disparate impacts of redlining and blockbusting on the current state of racial wealth inequality. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nBlack people in the United States have\, on average\, lower earnings\, higher unemployment rates\, lower rates of homeownership\, and less access to traditional banking services—all factors that contribute to economic disparities between their households and White households. Racially discriminatory housing practices\, including redlining and blockbusting\, contributed to unequal homeownership rates between Black and White Americans in the twentieth century\, with the effects still being felt today. Considering the importance of homeownership in building wealth\, we will illustrate how these practices have contributed to the racial wealth gap. \n\n\n\nThe event will include the following: \n\n\n\nOverview of the Racial Wealth Gap and Contributing FactorsKristen Broady\, senior economist\, economic advisor and Director of the Economic Mobility Project\, Chicago Fed \n\n\n\nThe Effects of Redlining Maps on the Long-Run Trajectories of NeighborhoodsDaniel Aaronson\, Senior Vice President and Associate Director of Research\, Chicago Fed \n\n\n\nBlockbusting and the Challenges Faced by Black Families in Building Wealth Through Housing in the Postwar United StatesDaniel Hartley\, Senior Economist\, Chicago Fed \n\n\n\nPanel Discussion: Factors Contributing to the Racial Wealth GapModerator: Natalie Y.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Community Reinvestment Act Modernization Proposal
DESCRIPTION:On July 12\, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York will host a virtual event to educate the public on an interagency proposal to modernize regulations implementing the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The CRA is a landmark law that requires the Federal Reserve Board and other federal banking regulators to encourage financial institutions to help meet the credit needs of the communities where they do business\, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The last significant interagency update to CRA regulations was in 1995. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nAt this event\, hosted in partnership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)\, representatives from the New York Fed and the Federal Reserve Board will provide an overview of the proposal and answer pre-submitted questions about the proposed updates to CRA regulations. \n\n\n\nThe Federal Reserve Board\, the FDIC\, and the OCC issued a joint proposal on May 5\, 2022 that would\, among other things\, expand access to credit\, investment\, and basic banking services in low- and moderate-income communities\, adapt to changes in the banking industry\, and provide greater clarity\, consistency\, and transparency. The agencies are currently requesting public comment on their joint proposal. \n\n\n\nFor more information on the proposal or to submit a comment\, please visit the Federal Reserve Board’s webpage on the proposed rulemaking. The deadline for submitting comments is August 5\, 2022. \n\n\n\nPresented by

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

SUMMARY:Toward an Inclusive Recovery: Achieving an Equitable and Inclusive Wealth Recovery
DESCRIPTION:On June 29\, join the Federal Reserve Banks of Boston and St. Louis for Toward an Inclusive Recovery: Achieving an Equitable and Inclusive Wealth Recovery\, featuring two virtual panels. First\, experts will discuss how household balance sheets and wealth gaps have evolved since the beginning of the pandemic. Next\, panelists will discuss how evidence-based solutions could contribute to a more equitable and inclusive wealth recovery. We hope you’ll join us. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeminar details\n\n\n\nWealth can be transformative in its ability to promote financial security and opportunity across generations. Yet\, wealth gaps have existed well before the pandemic\, and the uneven trajectory of the recovery may have intensified them. Historical factors and ongoing systemic barriers have significantly inhibited the ability of people of color\, women\, and other disadvantaged groups to accumulate meaningful levels of wealth. \n\n\n\nWealth gaps could widen further depending on housing and stock market performance and the expected expiration of critical cash\, food\, housing\, and debt assistance to struggling families. As a result\, households may experience depleting savings and increasing debts to potentially alarming levels. Price increases in various sectors\, resulting from inflation and global events\, could have disparate effects on family wealth holdings. This could burden those with less wealth even more while those with greater wealth may draw down theirs to meet consumption needs. How can we ensure the most vulnerable families are equitably included in recovery and wealth-building efforts? How can more families build the healthy balance sheets they need to thrive? \n\n\n\nThis seminar\, presented by the Federal Reserve Banks of Boston and St. Louis\, will discuss wealth trends since the pandemic and how evidence-based responses\, within households and the broader economy\, can promote wealth equity and an inclusive wealth recovery. The first panel will provide a framing of the issue\, including how different household assets and liabilities have been affected. The second panel will explore ideas on how to move beyond a simple recovery mindset and focus on collectively getting families to a more stable and resilient wealth position moving forward. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nXudong AnAssistant Vice PresidentSupervision\, Regulation\, and CreditPhiladelphia Fed \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJanet BoguslawSenior ScientistHeller School and Institute for Economic and Racial Equity \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRay BosharaSenior AdvisorInstitute for Economic EquitySt. Louis Fed \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJim BullardPresident & CEOSt. Louis Fed \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSara ChagantiDeputy Director of ResearchRegional and Community OutreachBoston Fed \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrabal ChakrabartiExecutive Vice PresidentRegional and Community OutreachBoston Fed \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFiona GreigManaging Director and Co-PresidentJPMorgan Chase Institute \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAna Hernández KentSenior ResearcherInstitute for Economic EquitySt. Louis Fed \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGenevieve MelfordDirector of Insights and EvidenceAspen Institute Financial Security Program \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWilliam M.

SUMMARY:Rent Stabilization: Local Approaches to Advance Tenant Stability
DESCRIPTION:Rent-regulation policies vary widely across the United States. What do we know about their effects on rental markets\, tenants\, and property owners? Do differences in the policies’ design matter? Urban Land Institute Minnesota and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis are partnering with experts from across the housing sector to present a four-part\, virtual event series featuring research-based\, evidence-driven conversation on rent regulation. We invite you to join us as we discuss these important questions. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nThis fourth and final session focuses on local approaches that have similar goals to rent stabilization policies. Which policies aimed at advancing low- or moderate-income-tenant stability or affordable housing are complementary to rent stabilization policies? How do these policies differ in terms of impact\, cost\, and efficiency? What combinations of policies have proven to improve tenant stability\, minimize displacement\, and offer more housing options for households with limited economic resources? \n\n\n\nVideos from previous sessions are available to watch on demand: \n\n\n\n\nRent Stabilization: Policy Choices and ImpactsRent Stabilization: Understanding the Rental-Market Impacts of Rent Stabilization Policy ChoicesRent Stabilization: Lessons Learned from Implementing Rent Stabilization Policies\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShane PhillipsProgram Manager\, Randall Lewis Housing InitiativeUCLA Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael SpottsPresidentNeighborhood Fundamentals \n\n\n\nSenior Visiting FellowTerwilliger Center for Housing\, Urban Land Institute \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChristina StacyPrincipal Research Associate\, Metropolitan Housing and Communities Policy CenterUrban Institute \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStephanie BrownUrban Land Institute Minnesotamoderator \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by

SUMMARY:The Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households in 2021
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, families in the United States continued to adjust to the shifting economic environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2013\, the Federal Reserve Board’s Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking (SHED) has provided insight into the financial challenges families were facing and monitored their financial circumstances. Over the past two years\, this survey has provided valuable insights into how family finances have evolved through the pandemic.  \n\n\n\nDuring this session\, experts will discuss the results from the most recent report on the SHED’s findings which will be released in the days leading up to the event\, and the public data file that accompanies it. This survey asked over 11\,000 people how their finances fared near the end of 2021. The virtual event will cover findings from the SHED on the ways families fared across a range of dimensions including how parents fared through the pandemic\, employment outcomes\, retirement decisions\, and broader family finances.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nJeff Larrimore\, chief\, consumer and community research section\, Federal Reserve Board \n\n\n\nAlicia Lloro\, senior economist\, consumer and community research section\, Federal Reserve Board \n\n\n\nEllen Merry\, principal economist\, consumer and community research section\, Federal Reserve Board  \n\n\n\nSydney Diavua\, director\, community partnerships and investment\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis moderator \n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Connecting Communities® webinar series is a Federal Reserve System initiative intended to provide a national audience with timely information on emerging and important community and economic development topics.

SUMMARY:Fed@YourDesk Webinar: Tools to Help Low-Wage Workers Move Up the Career Ladder
DESCRIPTION:Join the Chicago Fed on May 24 for the next Fed@YourDesk Webinar\, Tools to Help Low-Wage Workers Move Up the Career Ladder\, with Brittany Birken\, principal adviser on the Community and Economic Development team at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs their incomes rise\, some workers become ineligible for certain government funding and benefits\, such as tax credits and food assistance. When a modest wage increase leaves a worker financially worse off\, the worker experiences what’s known as a “benefits cliff\,” which can be a disincentive to advance beyond low-wage jobs. The Atlanta Fed has developed the Career Ladder Identifier and Financial Forecaster (CLIFF)\, a set of online tools that can help policymakers\, employers\, service providers\, and workers better understand where these barriers might occur along various career pathways.  \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you will learn about the Atlanta Fed’s tools designed to provide information about how benefits change with income gains\, including: \n\n\n\n\nThe CLIFF DashboardThe CLIFF PlannerThe CLIFF Employer EditionPolicy Rules Database Dashboard\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by

SUMMARY:2022 Agricultural Symposium: Help Wanted in Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:The 2022 Agricultural Symposium will explore the role of labor in determining the long-term outlook for agriculture and related businesses\, how policies will shape that outlook\, and the potential for structural change. \n\n\n\n\nRequest an invitation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nAgricultural production has expanded dramatically during the past two decades due\, in large part\, to innovative and opportunistic solutions to challenges large and small. Technological advancements in agriculture reflect a problem-solving mindset as innovation has alleviated pressure points or expanded opportunities. As in the past\, agricultural enterprises continue to require innovative solutions to new and existing problems. At the same time\, however\, many businesses have also been facing intensifying labor shortages that have inhibited existing operations and growth. Help wanted signs abound – not just to work in agriculture – but\, more broadly\, to solve problems and advance the industry. \n\n\n\nThe 2022 Agricultural Symposium\, “Help Wanted in Agriculture” will explore the role of labor in determining the long-term outlook for agriculture and related businesses\, how policies will shape that outlook\, and the potential for structural change. On the first day of the symposium\, speakers will discuss how issues connected to labor will affect long-term agricultural production prospects and efficient supply chains. On the second day of the symposium\, speakers will discuss how existing and emerging policies affect the decisions of agricultural businesses\, and how the structure of the industry may evolve in the future alongside changes in workforce trends. \n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMay 23\, 2022\n\n\n\n\n\n12:00-1:00 pm CT \n\n\n\n\n\nLunch available\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1:00–1:30 pm CT \n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome and Opening Remarks\n\n\n\nNathan Kauffman\, Vice President\, Economist and Omaha Branch Executive\, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1:30-3:15 pm CT \n\n\n\n\n\nSession 1: Farm Labor\n\n\n\nThis session will examine the outlook for farm labor in the years ahead and how agricultural workforce developments might affect future challenges and opportunities related to agricultural production. \n\n\n\nDiane Charlton\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Agricultural Economics and Economics\, Montana State University speaker \n\n\n\nA.G.

SUMMARY:Money and Mission: Creating 21st Century Capital Markets for Better Social Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, May 17\, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York will host a discussion on the potential of philanthropy to act as both a source of capital and a model for the fundamental changes needed to address today’s challenges. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this conversation\, experts will discuss the following questions: \n\n\n\n\nCan we solve social problems with markets? If not\, how do we marry market solutions with public policy and philanthropy in the most effective ways?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoes the philanthropic model have an internal contradiction that stymies progress if it uses only 5% of its assets to advance its mission?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do we frame the big challenges facing communities—such as widening wealth inequality\, affordable housing scarcity\, and the decline of community services such as schools\, health care\, clean water\, and internet access—so that they are not too overwhelming for foundations and other investors to hope to improve?\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is open to the public and media.

SUMMARY:Advancing Homeownership Opportunity to Narrow Racial Disparities
DESCRIPTION:Federal Programs to Advance Homeownership Opportunity to Narrow Racial Disparities on May 17 will feature two virtual panels discussing current federal efforts to advance racial equity in homeownership and ways to leverage these new and emerging programs. They include the equity plans by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA)\, the interagency Action Plan to Advance Property Appraisal and Valuation Equity\, new home renovation products\, and underwriting innovations from government-sponsored enterprises. Special purpose credit programs\, and other innovative strategies for reshaping housing market access will also be discussed.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeries details\n\n\n\nFor many Americans\, homeownership is an effective tool for building household — and generational — wealth. Yet not all Americans have shared in this prosperity. Historical and systemic barriers to homeownership have long stood in the way of households of color\, resulting in significant racial disparities in homeownership and neighborhood disinvestment that persist nationwide. Further\, research is emerging about how the pandemic may have exacerbated this growing homeownership gap. More innovative and strategic programs are needed to narrow the racial homeownership gap. \n\n\n\nIn a series titled Advancing Homeownership Opportunity to Narrow Racial Disparities\, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia\, the Urban Institute\, and the Penn Institute for Urban Research will focus on envisioning more innovative strategies for expanding homeownership opportunities for households of color. \n\n\n\nSpeakers for Part 1\, May 17\n\n\n\nWelcome \n\n\n\nTheresa Singleton\, Senior Vice President\, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia \n\n\n\nPanel 1: Introduction of Federal Programs \n\n\n\nMelody Taylor\, Executive Director of the Property Appraisal and Valuation Equity Task Force\,U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development \n\n\n\nJames Wylie\, Associate Director for Fair Lending\, Federal Housing Finance Agency \n\n\n\nSimone Beaty\, Senior Director\, Affordable Lending\, Freddie Mac \n\n\n\nStacey Shifman\, Senior Director\, Single-Family Analytics and Modeling\, Fannie Mae \n\n\n\nLaurie Goodman\, Institute Fellow\, Urban Institute moderator \n\n\n\nPanel 2: How to Leverage and Enhance Federal Programs \n\n\n\nLisa Rice\, President and Chief Executive Officer\, National Fair Housing Alliance \n\n\n\nReza Aghamirzadeh\, Executive Vice President and Head of Community Development\, CitizensBank \n\n\n\nRobin Wiessmann\, Executive Director and CEO\, Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency \n\n\n\nJanneke Ratcliffe\, Vice President\, Housing Finance Policy Center\, Urban Institute \n\n\n\nSusan Wachter\, Albert Sussman Professor of Real Estate\, Professor of Finance\, and Codirector\, PennInstitute for Urban Research moderator \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by

SUMMARY:Understanding the Rental-Market Impacts of Rent Stabilization Policy Choices
