The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (FRB-Boston) will host Economic Challenges and Opportunities for Latinos in Massachusetts at their third quarter 2022 Boston AEI Meeting. This webinar will provide insights into the socio-economic challenges and opportunities facing Latinos in Massachusetts. They will offer solutions to address Latino, low-and moderate-income, and underbanked communities, such as partnering with community-based organizations to support community development lending, services, and investment opportunities. These opportunities may garner favorable Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) consideration.
