It exposed existing economic and health inequities faced by lower-income people and people of color. Millions of people—some for the very first time—experienced unemployment, housing instability, and other economic hardships. As people return to work and our economy begins to expand, the community development field—including the financial, government, philanthropic, and nonprofit sectors—has an opportunity to collectively advance policies and actions that support an inclusive and equitable recovery. Join us for a Federal Reserve Community Development Research Seminar Series focused on supporting an inclusive recovery. Each seminar in the series will present research illuminating an issue critical to our economy, and presenters will discuss how the community development field can use these findings to support a recovery that benefits everyone.
