Community Listening Session
How does the nation’s monetary policy impact people in South Dallas? How well does it reflect conditions there? As the Federal Reserve works to promote maximum employment and price stability, it seeks input on how its decisions affect local communities.
At the Fed, we’re currently reviewing our monetary policy strategy to find out if there are ways it could be improved to achieve the goals assigned to us by law. To make sure we consider a broad range of views from the public we serve, we’re holding Fed Listens events in diverse locations across the U.S. These events will focus on communities where, despite a strong economy, people are struggling to keep pace.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas hosted a Fed Listens community listening session on Monday, February 25, at St. Philip’s School and Community Center. Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Richard Clarida, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan and local community leaders discussed economic conditions in southern Dallas and how the Fed’s policy decisions connect with residents’ lives. They explored workforce development, financial capability, affordable housing, food insecurity, health, education and transportation.
