The COVID-19 pandemic caused financial hardship on millions of people. As people return to work and our economy begins to expand, the community development field — including the financial, government, philanthropic, and nonprofit sectors — is thinking about what that recovery looks like and how to include as many people as possible.
The Federal Reserve Community Development Research Seminar Series focuses on a recovery that is inclusive. Each seminar in the series will present research illuminating an issue critical to our economy, and presenters will discuss how the community development field can use these findings to support a recovery that benefits everyone.
Millions of renters accrued billions of dollars in rental debt because of lost income and jobs during the pandemic. The federal government responded by allocating substantial funding for rental assistance, which was provided to states and their local agencies to manage. In this session, we explore the research behind rental debt and discuss some of the lessons learned from the design and implementation of relief policies and programs. We will also evaluate some long-term solutions for increasing rental housing security.
