In this piece, @Liifund’s @oliviajbarrow talks about the potential for special
purpose credit programs (SPCPs) to increase access to credit in communities of color. From @TheRegReview: https://t.co/1nlgTq3CT8.

[National Association of Affordable Housing Lenders @NAAHLDC]

Check out this article, “Increasing Access to Credit in Communities of Color” from our member @Liifund on the Community Reinvestment Act. #Capital4Communities

[Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF) @Liifund]

Special Purpose Credit Programs are a powerful tool to deliver capital to communities of color, and #CDFIs have an important role to demonstrate the value of these underused programs.

[Olivia Barrow Strauss @oliviajbarrow]

Excited to share my recent article on mutually reinforcing opportunities between CRA and Special Purpose Credit Programs (SPCPs). With the right incentives, we can drive more affordable, accessible capital to communities of color.

@AngieGarling “My mom worked as a home-based child care provider when I was young. Child care is literally what allowed my mom to earn a living and support our family. I want all families to have access to the care they need.” - @oliviajbarrow #DayWithoutChildCare

[Ahmad Abu-Khalaf @Ahmad_AbuKhalaf]

Displacement won’t be solved by blocking all new development. We need affordable homes for all incomes+tenant protections. Yes I think publicly-owned homes permanently affordable for <50%AMI are great but it doesn’t mean we should block other developments https://t.co/bYpobBhpvy

Congrats to the @Liifund ECE Team for being named Administrator of the next round of the Access to Quality Child Care program in DC! So much incredible #childcare facilities work to be done in the District. #BuildUpChildCare @LauraCJackman

[Mission Driven Finance® @MDFinanceSD]

Thank you @ECEFacilities for supporting this video + @UDWA for connecting us with child care providers Elsa, Samsam, and Maria (Loulou).

Their stories highlight why investing in homes as #childcare infrastructure is key to ensuring American families have access to quality care.
