COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT REVIEW

The Community Affairs Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco created the Center for Community Development Investments to research and disseminate best practices in providing capital to low- and moderate-income communities. Part of this mission is accomplished by publishing the Community Development Investment Review three times a year. The Review brings together experts to write about various community development investment topics including:

Finance—new tools, techniques, or approaches that increase the volume, lower the cost, lower the risk, or in any way make investments in low-income communities more attractive;
Collaborations—ways in which different groups can pool resources and expertise to address the capital needs of low-income communities;
Public Policy—analysis of how government and public policy influence community development finance options;
Best Practices—showcase innovative projects, people, or institutions that are improving the investment opportunities in low-income areas.

The goal of the Review is to bridge the gap between theory and practice and to enlist as many viewpoints as possible—government, nonprofits, financial institutions, and beneficiaries. As a leading economist in the community development field describes it, the Review provides “ideas for people who get things done.” For submission guidelines and themes of upcoming issues, visit our website: www.frbsf.org/cdinvestments.
