The Urban Institute, in collaboration with JPMorgan Chase, hosted a convening of community development financial institution (CDFI) leaders and policymakers to highlight the role CDFIs play nationally in creating equity and restarting economic growth. How can and do CDFIs build and enhance opportunity for all in both high-growth economies and resurging rural communities? We explored the experience and perspectives of CDFIs themselves, and of national and state policymakers.
Sessions included:
- Creating Equity in High-Growth Economies
What are CDFIs doing to expand opportunity in places experiencing fast-paced development and investment? - Restarting Economic Growth
