  1. Community Development Department Information and TrendsNovember 9, 2011 Tammie C. Hoy Regional Community Development Manager

  2. The History of the Community Development Program In 1981, the Federal Reserve System established the Community Affairs program in each of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks. The Community Affairs program reflects the structure of the Federal Reserve System. Within the framework of a shared mission and goals, each of the 12 Reserve Banks establishes its own Community Affairs programs and responds to local needs in its District. At the Richmond Bank, our department is called Community Development.

  3. The Federal Reserve Act The Community Development program supports the Federal Reserve Act’s economic growth objectives by encouraging financial institutions to invest in “the public welfare by benefitting primarily low- to moderate-income communities or families (such as by providing housing, services or jobs.”)

  4. Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond’s Community Development Department Our Mission The mission of the Community Development Department at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond is to support the economic growth objectives of the Federal Reserve Act by working with public and private partners to resolve credit and development issues in low- and moderate-income communities. Our Vision To be a recognized leader in expanding community economic development opportunities.

  8. Participants are surveyed twice a year Online survey administered in spring and fall to the same set of participants. • 202 participants representing 100 geography-field categories. Each participant represents an important local perspective. Fall 2011 was our fifth survey. • Received 122 responses (60% response rate).

  23. Outreach: Community Land Trust Forums Community Development collaborates with housing organizations, municipalities, financial institutions and policymakers to host Community Land Trust forums in the District. Forums provide attendees the opportunity to learn about establishing, financing, marketing and sustaining CLTs.

  24. Outreach: Data Conference Our Community Development held an interactive conference titled Unleashing the Power of Local Data. The one-day conference hit full capacity at 110 and attracted participants from 11 states and the District of Columbia. Our interactive approach allowed attendees to use their laptops to work with different data sources and mapping tools in real time during the event.
