Community Development Financial Institutions as Health Equity

Date:

5 October, 2016

1:00 to 2:00pm Eastern Time

Across the country, new opportunities like the BUILD Health Challenge are pushing community organizations to form cross-sector partnerships in order to improve population health and promote health equity. One valuable collaborative partner is the $200 billion community development sector, which brings public and private investment into place-based initiatives. How are communities leveraging Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and other community development organizations to address their population health goals?

At the October 5th discussion three local leaders wil be featured – spanning community development, public health , and health care – who are all in the midst of deepening their relationships with CDFIs. The speakers are grantees of the BUILD Health Challenge and the Joining Forces Grant. This discussion will be practical and interactive.
