"In the financial system anecdotal information about what is risky is often conflated with race & income. If you actually dig into the data that is not the case." Love this episode with change maker @LucyAB_LIIF_CSO @Liifund #RacialEquity #power

Newest member of @NALCAB and @Liifund familia appreciated @SecFudge naming that Black and Brown people must have access to affordable housing without displacement. When we’re displaced from our communities, we lose a piece of our lives and culture. #nalcabconference22

[Lucy Arellano Baglieri @LucyAB_LIIF_CSO]

So appreciate @NALCAB, @MarlaBilonick and this conversation on why #racialequity needs to be explicitly named in #cra

If we want to build a sustainable, functioning #childcare system for every child in the US, we must creatively re-imagine & advocate for systems changes.

Our children, families and current & future workforce depend on it.

Housing is deeply connected to broader economic & social justice issues. LIIF and @NAHTorg saw a need for financing products to help shift the #affordablehousing field to be more inclusive & reflective of those it served.

Wow, what a deeply personal and insightful piece by @LucyAB_LIIF_CSO. Thanks for sharing your personal journey, insights and ideas for greater and sustained impact - how to truly meet “communities where they are.”

We are encouraged that the three banking regulators will work jointly on Community Reinvestment Act modernization moving forward! CRA directs many billions of dollars in community development resources annually and is a critical policy to support underserved communities.
