Community Development, Low-Income Communities – Arlington, VA
The Community Affairs Officers of the Federal Reserve System present the seventh Federal Reserve Community Affairs Research Conference, “The Changing Landscape of Community Development: Linking Research with Policy and Practice in Low-Income Communities.” The conference will be held April 28-29, 2011, in Arlington, VA.
On the heels of the deepest recession since the pre-War period, the challenges facing low-income communities are immense. But, the current crisis also provides an opportunity to critically re-think community development. The goal of the 2011 conference is to highlight emerging and novel research that directly informs community development policy and practice and that points the way to a more inclusive vision of sustainable economic recovery.
