What We Do

Our mission is to support the Federal Reserve System's economic growth objectives by promoting fair, impartial, and efficient access to credit and financial services. 

In pursuit of our mission, we offer information on public-private partnerships, resources, and innovative models that foster access to credit and investment in the low- and moderate- income communities of the Ninth Federal Reserve District.  Our means to that end include producing publications, sponsoring informative events, and building productive relationships with other organizations through research, technical assistance, and outreach.

Where We Work

Our team serves the Ninth Federal Reserve District, which comprises Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, the Upper Pennisula of Michigan, and 26 counties in northwestern Wisconsin.  The district covers 409,291 square miles and stretches 1,800 miles from end to end.  It is home to about 8.8 million people who live in communities of many different sizes and descriptions, including major metropolitan areas, midsized cities, rural towns, and American Indian reservations.

Our offices are located in downtown Minneapolis and Helena, Montana.

Events

We sponsor forums, conferences, and training sessions that spotlight major trends and issues in the community development field.  Our events draw audiences that provide diverse perspectives from the public, private, and nonprofit spheres.

About our co-sponsor

Twin Cities LISC

Twin Cities LISC supports nonprofit community development organizations with grants, loans, and expertise to help them construct businesses, community centers, and affordable homes in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.

 

In the past 20 years, Twin Cities LISC has invested more than $350 million in grants, loans, and equity, leveraging an additional $1 billion in total development. That investment has created more than 8,500 affordable homes and apartments and 1 million square feet of commercial/retail space (nearly equal to the size of Southdale Mall) in some of the Twin Cities’ most challenged neighborhoods.

LISC’s support of CDCs and other development partners helps ensure that neighborhoods provide residents with better access to education and housing; employment; arts, culture, and recreation; childcare and youth development; and healthcare, all in safe surroundings. That’s the goal of LISC’s comprehensive, integrated approach called Building Sustainable Communities.
