Community Development Policy and Engagement works at the intersection of research, policy, and relationship-building to identify and understand conditions in low- and moderate-income communities across the Seventh District and to promote opportunity in those communities. CDPE staff work closely with a diverse group of community representatives, including from financial institutions, community-based organizations, governmental agencies, academic institutions, nonprofits, and the philanthropic and private sectors, to advance positive economic outcomes for lower-income and underserved households. Articles, policy briefs, and convenings are among the tools CDPE uses.
