Community Development Panel March 8

[RehemainHouston]

A Community Development Panel at the Federal Reserve

The Yale Club of Houston, Capital One, and ULI Houston would like to invite you to attend an exciting panel discussion on the impact of community development in Houston. The panel will highlight ways in which local organizations are helping Houston and area residents build assets, primarily through affordable housing development and other community investments. Leaders of Capital One, Houston Habitat for Humanity, Covenant Community Capital Corporation, and Houston LISC will also highlight ways in which community development can be good business - either through accessing untapped markets (such as working class citizens) or through accessing government incentives like tax credits and housing grants.

• Laura Bailey, Managing Vice President, Community Loans and Investments, Capital One
  
• Algenita Scott Davis, Executive Director, Houston Habitat for Humanity
  
• Stephan Fairfield, President/CEO, Covenant Community Capital Corporation and Covenant Neighborhoods
