SUMMARY:Launch event: Release of the Regional Housing Affordability Dashboard
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Minneapolis Fed for the launch of the Regional Housing Affordability Dashboard\, developed in partnership with the Itasca Project. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nThe Minneapolis Fed has partnered with the Itasca Project to build a Regional Housing Affordability Dashboard that monitors housing affordability in the Twin Cities.  \n\n\n\nHousing affordability plays a critical role in attracting and retaining talent and driving the Twin Cities economy by allowing the region’s residents to choose homes close to their jobs\, schools\, and amenities and still have income to save for their future and invest in their education\, health care\, and quality of life. While the Twin Cities region has long enjoyed housing affordability relative to other thriving parts of the country\, the Itasca Project’s 2020 Housing Affordability Task Force Report noted that the region’s current advantage is at risk. \n\n\n\nThe Regional Housing Affordability Dashboard: \n\n\n\n\nSets three strategic goals for the region’s housing;Offers a regional view of housing affordability;Disaggregates key data by race and ethnicity\, income level\, geography\, and housing tenure; andBenchmarks the Twin Cities region against 11 other peer metropolitan regions.\n\n\n\n\nThis dashboard aims to track how the Twin Cities area is doing on overall housing affordability to maintain and restore our region’s advantage. It’s a resource designed for leaders across sectors\, informed by housing experts\, and accessible to anybody who wants to take action on this critical component of the region’s success. \n\n\n\nDuring this webinar\, speakers will give a tour of the new resource\, discuss emerging insights\, and highlight how you can use the dashboard in your work.  \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nRon Feldman\, First Vice President\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis \n\n\n\nPaul Williams\, President and CEO\, Project for Pride in Living \n\n\n\nCharlie Zelle\, Chair\, Metropolitan Council \n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by

SUMMARY:Exploring the Anchor Economy:  Impacts of Higher Education and Healthcare on Local and Regional Economies
DESCRIPTION:Join the Philadelphia Fed for a virtual event exploring the impacts of higher education and healthcare on local and regional economies. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHigher education and hospitals form a distinct sector of regional economies. 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.

SUMMARY:Impact of COVID-19 on Organizations Serving Low- to Moderate-Income Communities
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 2 for a Connecting Communities® webinar discussing how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted low- to moderate-income (LMI) communities and the entities serving them in 2021.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nThe current public health and economic crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionately negative impact on historically underserved individuals and communities of color. Stabilization and recuperation are happening slowly; however\, it is important to monitor the conditions and needs of the organizations serving the most severely impacted communities to foster an inclusive recovery. These organizations are the infrastructure that aids in promoting economic resilience and mobility for all. Without them\, we risk an uneven recovery from the pandemic.  \n\n\n\nThe national COVID-19 Community Impact Survey\, administered by the Federal Reserve System\, was designed to track the significant impact the pandemic has had on low- to moderate-income (LMI) communities and the entities serving them. The survey was created to amplify the voices of people working on the frontlines to serve distressed communities. \n\n\n\nIn August 2021\, the latest iteration of the survey was implemented in collaboration with eight national partners. During this session\, we will discuss findings affecting organizations serving LMI communities\, and how this research informs decision-making for our partners and other community development practitioners. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nMatuschka Lindo Briggs\, director of special projects and strategic support\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis moderator \n\n\n\nNishesh Chalise\, director of community-based policy and analysis\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  \n\n\n\nEllicia Lanier\, founder and executive director\, Urban Sprouts Child Development Center \n\n\n\nSabeen Perwaiz\, president and CEO\, Florida Nonprofit Alliance \n\n\n\nDavid L.

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

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: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: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:Racism and the Economy: Focus on Financial Services
DESCRIPTION:This is the 10th installment in our virtual event series\, which examines the impact of structural racism on our economy and advances ideas to improve economic outcomes for all Americans. This session will examine structural racism in our financial services system and its impact on the economy.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring this event\, we will survey historical and present-day barriers to traditional financial services that exist for people of color\, which can drive them into expensive and sometimes exploitative alternatives. This session will envision new products and practices\, prioritizing people and places that have experienced chronic disinvestment and exclusion. It will explore ways to address root causes that can result in more equitable access to financial services and help close these gaps. Leaders from financial institutions\, consumer protection organizations\, research institutions\, and others will explore ways that we can fully support consumers and financial service providers to ultimately help facilitate an economy that works for all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nTom Barkin\, President\, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond \n\n\n\nRaphael Bostic\, President\, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta \n\n\n\nCamille Busette\, Senior Fellow\, Economic Studies\, Governance Studies\, Metropolitan Policy Program and Director\, Race\, Prosperity\, and Inclusion Initiative\, Brookings Institute \n\n\n\nBill Bynum\, CEO\, Hope Enterprise Corporation\, Hope Credit Union\, and Hope Policy Institute \n\n\n\nEsther George\, President\, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City \n\n\n\nLakota Vogel\, Executive Director\, Four Bands Community Fund \n\n\n\nMore speakers to be added. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Racism and the Economy\n\n\n\nHosted by all 12 District Banks of the U.S. Federal Reserve System\, Racism and the Economy is a virtual series that brings together community\, business\, and academic leaders to examine the economic impact of racism and advance bold ideas and concrete actions to achieve an economy that makes opportunity available to everyone.

SUMMARY:Practices\, Policies and Partnerships to Increase Black Homeownership
DESCRIPTION:Narrowing the Racial Homeownership Gap\, Part Two\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is the second part of a two-part event series focused on narrowing the racial homeownership gap. Part One: Addressing Systemic Racism and Bias in the Housing Market is on Tuesday\, November 9\, 2021.  \n\n\n\n Homeownership 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.

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:Toward an Inclusive Recovery: Understanding and Empowering Women's Economic Participation
DESCRIPTION:Join us October 21 for a research seminar that will explore issues related to women’s economic declines during the pandemic and the ability of women to participate equally in existing markets\, post-recession. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeminar details\n\n\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic and its economic ramification has disproportionally impacted women. This so-called “she-cession” is throwing away decades of hard-won battles both in terms of gender equality and women’s economic gains. Women\, particularly women of color\, are more likely to work in the sectors hit hardest by economic closures\, including healthcare\, retail\, and the informal economy. Women are more impacted by the burdens of caregiving—including caring for children and elderly parents who are now at home rather than at school or living on their own. Additionally\, women entrepreneurs are also often less likely than men to have access to the loans and other financial services that help businesses weather a downturn.   \n\n\n\nEven before the pandemic\, the World Economic Forum estimated that it would take 250 years to close the economic gender gap. How can we ensure economic recovery efforts include and support women? More broadly\, how do we create a more equitable economic environment that offers the tools\, resources and opportunities women need to thrive?  \n\n\n\nThis seminar will examine these important questions related to women’s economic declines during the pandemic and their ability to participate equally in the post-recession labor market. The first panel will provide a framing of the issue\, including what makes the she-cession so different from previous recessions. The second will explore ideas on how to rebuild a more inclusive economy for working women.   \n\n\n\nThis seminar is part of a Federal Reserve Community Development Research Seminar Series focused on supporting an inclusive recovery. Get to know the speakers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00-11:05 am ET \n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome and Panel 1 opening remarks\n\n\n\nMatuschka Lindo Briggs\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis \n\n\n\nAlfreda Norman\, Senior Vice President\, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:05-11:55 am ET \n\n\n\n\n\nPanel 1: How the “she-cession” came to be\n\n\n\nMatthias Doepke\, Northwestern University  \n\n\n\nMichelle Holder\, Washington Center for Equitable Growth; John Jay College  \n\n\n\nBetsey Stevenson\, University of Michigan  \n\n\n\nModerator: C.

SUMMARY:Racism and the Economy: Focus on the Wealth Divide
DESCRIPTION:The ninth installment of our virtual event series focuses on how racialized barriers to wealth accumulation deny families and communities long-term economic mobility and financial resiliency. Wealth is usually defined as the value of one’s assets minus debt\, and it serves as a critical component of economic opportunity in the United States. Opening speakers will examine past and present structures and institutions that contribute to persistent wealth disparities. A panel of practitioners\, scholars\, and community leaders will propose and discuss bold strategies to finally reverse these trends. The Federal Reserve has long studied wealth disparities because equal access to wealth is so important to achieving full employment and an inclusive economy. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\nMehrsa Baradaran\, Professor of Law\, University of California\, Irvine\, School of LawRaphael Bostic\, President\, Federal Reserve Bank of AtlantaJames Bullard\, President\, Federal Reserve Bank of St. LouisCharles Evans\, President\, Federal Reserve Bank of ChicagoMatthew Fletcher\, Foundation Professor of Law and Director of the Indigenous Law and Policy Center\, Michigan State UniversityNeel Kashkari\, President\, Federal Reserve Bank of MinneapolisNoel Poyo\, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Economic Development\, U.S. Department of the TreasuryEric Rosengren\, President\, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston\n\n\n\n\nMore speakers to be added. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by all 12 District Banks of the U.S. Federal Reserve System\, Racism and the Economy is a virtual series that brings together community\, business\, and academic leaders to examine the economic impact of racism and advance bold ideas and concrete actions to achieve an economy that makes opportunity available to everyone.

SUMMARY:Enduring a Global Pandemic: The Stats and the Story Behind Small Businesses' Journey through COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the pandemic\, important conversations about the challenges\, support\, and recovery of small businesses have been ongoing.

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.

SUMMARY:Racial Disparities in Today’s Economy
DESCRIPTION:Art by Meghan Smith/Federal Reserve Bank of Boston \n\n\n\n\nRegister: October 4\n\n\n\nRegister: October 5\n\n\n\nRegister: October 6\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPersistent racial disparities in economic outcomes for workers and households—particularly in unemployment rates by race—are directly relevant to the central mission of the Federal Reserve. Substantial disparities in other areas either upstream or downstream from the labor market also are of great concern to the Fed. These include racial disparities in elementary and secondary education performance\, rates of college completion and homeownership\, wealth accumulation\, and experience with the criminal justice system. This conference will introduce scholarly studies from recognized experts in their respective areas of research. These studies will summarize the current state of economic knowledge about racial disparities\, introduce new insight that enhances our understanding of the role that racial discrimination continues to play\, and present commentary on existing policies and proposed policies intended to address these disparities. \n\n\n\nThe Federal Reserve Bank of Boston Economic Research Conference Series fosters discussion and critical engagement among academics\, central bankers\, policymakers\, and other experts on important economic policy topics. \n\n\n\nVisit the agenda for session topics and the conference schedule. \n\n\n\nLearn more about the conference speakers. \n\n\n\nPresented by
