As interest in CDFI Friendly Communities continues to grow, South Bend, Indiana, will host the next public forum sponsored by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

The South Bend event will feature:

• A report on CDFI Friendly Bloomington as community leaders in Bloomington, IN, prepare to announce plans there.
• My update on CDFI Friendly Community efforts nationwide.
• An overview of market conditions in and around South Bend.
• CDFIs reporting on their work in the region.

Register today for “Community Development Finance in Smaller Markets: CDFIs in the South Bend Region.” It will run from 8:30 am – 3 pm at the Charles Martin Youth Center in South Bend.

This event is similar to the CDFI Friendly Communities event earlier this year in Lake County, IN, near Gary.
