The Changing Economy: The New Community Development Lending Environment
June 10, 2009
Federal Reserve Bank Dallas, Houston Branch
Sponsored by:
Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, Texas Mezzanine Fund, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
In Partnership with:
Office of Thrift Supervision, Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and Texas Association of Community Development Corporations
The region's financial institutions and their community development partners are looking for ways to manage and mitigate risk in the rapidly changing economic environment. This event helped identify ways to maintain community development lending with new resources, grants, credit enhancements and best practices.
All financial institutions and their CDFI and CDC partners were encouraged to attend. The conference not only focused on the current economic challenges but also helped stakeholders be more responsive to increased community development needs.
