Yet historically\, Black Philadelphians have not had the same access to that opportunity. Join the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and The Pew Charitable Trusts in a discussion about policy solutions to the Black-White homeownership gap in Philadelphia. Researchers will examine the current state of these racial homeownership disparities in the city and what factors perpetuate these inequities. State and local policymakers will use key findings from this research to explore potential policy interventions to close the Black-White homeownership gap in Philadelphia. This solutions-oriented discussion will build on previous events and share information about future efforts to create a more equitable Philadelphia. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:00-10:05 am ET \n\n\n\n\n\nOpening remarks\n\n\n\nFrazierita Klasen\, Senior Vice President\, The Pew Charitable Trusts \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:05-10:35 am ET \n\n\n\n\n\nPanel 1: Barriers to Closing the Black-White Homeownership Gap\n\n\n\nLei Ding\, Senior Community Development Economic Advisor\, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia \n\n\n\nOctavia Howell\, Manager\, The Pew Charitable Trusts \n\n\n\nJimmy Gastner\, Community Engagement Associate\, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia moderator \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:35 am-11:20 am ET \n\n\n\n\n\nPanel 2: Policy Solutions to Address These Racial HomeownershipDisparities\n\n\n\nRobin Wiessmann\, Executive Director and CEO\, Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency \n\n\n\nCherelle Parker\, Councilmember\, City of Philadelphia \n\n\n\nNikil Saval\, State Senator\, Pennsylvania District 1 \n\n\n\nJames Crowder\, Senior Associate\, Local Policy Advocacy and Reform\, Annie E.

Without access to reliable child care\, many parents (particularly mothers) left the workforce during the pandemic—and a substantial proportion of these parents have yet to return. ECE is key to parental employment and also aligns with the Federal Reserve’s maximum employment mandate. Research from the Minneapolis Fed shows that children (particularly those from disadvantaged environments) benefit from attending high-quality ECE programs. \n\n\n\nThis session will include insights from research on the cost of providing high-quality ECE\, the challenges LMI families face in paying for it and racial and ethnic equity for families and ECE providers.

Anchored to place\, these institutions often serve as both major employers and real estate developers\, as well as broad consumers of local goods and services. The financial health of many local communities is often directly tied to the success of so-called eds and meds in the region. \n\n\n\nThe Philadelphia Fed is preparing to launch its Anchor Economy Initiative\, focused on the economic impact of higher education and health-care institutions\, which are firmly rooted in their communities and have a major impact on local economies. This new initiative will identify how reliant local communities are on eds and meds for their economic vitality and explore how this sector can be used to stimulate growth\, increase economic mobility and equity\, and address economic decline. \n\n\n\nDuring this event\, experts will focus on three aspects of a strong and sustainable anchor economy: economic growth\, community development\, and anchors stabilizing rural communities. \n\n\n\nSpeakers will present on the following questions: \n\n\n\n\nEconomic Growth: Do regions with a high concentration of higher eds demonstrate different educational attainment outcomes?Community Development: How do anchors collaborate on community development\, and what difference does it make when they do?Stabilizing Rural Communities: What are the economic consequences of rural hospital closures?\n\n\n\n\nMembers of network organizations\, such as the Anchor Institutions Task Force (AITF)\, the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities (CUMU)\, and the Healthcare Anchor Network; those working in the community development field; public health officials; academic researchers; nonprofit leaders; and others interested in learning more about anchor economies are encouraged to attend this event. \n\n\n\nView the detailed event agenda and register.

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 URL:https://fedcommunities.org/event/toward-equitable-recovery-housing-security-rental-assistance/ LOCATION:Virtual Event CATEGORIES:Federal Reserve Research Seminar Series,Toward an Inclusive Recovery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fedcommunities.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/housing-security-11172021-event-1920x1280-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211117T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211117T113000 DTSTAMP:20260403T194730 CREATED:20211028T025830Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211028T025831Z UID:10000266-1637143200-1637148600@fedcommunities.org 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 URL:https://fedcommunities.org/event/increasing-black-homeownership-puget-sound-region/ LOCATION:Virtual Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fedcommunities.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/seattle-1920x1280-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20211116T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20211116T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T194730 CREATED:20211013T190317Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211013T190355Z UID:10000184-1637074800-1637078400@fedcommunities.org 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 URL:https://fedcommunities.org/event/rural-prosperity-framework/ LOCATION:Virtual Event CATEGORIES:Connecting Communities ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://fedcommunities.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/rural-prosperity-event-1920x1280-1.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
