Forging Bank Partnerships for the Success of Your CRA

Financial Institutions including banks and Community Development Financial Institutions provide lending, services and investments for local infrastructure, affordable housing and economic development. How can a CRA plug into these programs? We will discuss how to effectively choose and partner with a financial institution. Participants will engage with panelists on specific opportunities in their CRAs and learn about redevelopment best practices from our panelists. This session is a follow-up to “Understanding Bank CRA for Florida’s CRAs”. Instead of lectures in this session, we will host a facilitated audience participation format.
