SUMMARY:CEDAM's Keeping Michigan Residents in Their Homes Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for many Michigan renters to stay current on their rent payments. About two weeks before the eviction moratorium was set to end\, the Michigan Legislature passed SB 690\, appropriating $880 million in federal dollars from the CARES Act. This included $60 million for a rental assistance program. \nJoin CEDAM’s panel of experts on July 7 from 9–10am EST to get an overview of the rental assistance program as well as understand how Eviction Diversion Programs (EDPs) fit into the pandemic-related housing program adopted by the legislature. \nRegister Here: https://members-cedam.wildapricot.org/event-3889001

SUMMARY:Number of working Black business owners decline
DESCRIPTION:Number of working black business owners falls 40 percent\, far more than other groups amid coronavirus\n\nBy\nHannah Knowles\nMay 25\, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. EDT\n\nThe number of working African American business owners in the United States plummeted more than 40 percent as the coronavirus shut down much of the economy — a far steeper drop than other racial groups experienced\, according to an analysis confirming fears the pandemic would deepen inequalities in the business world.\n\nClosures and social distancing to slow the virus’s spread have taken a disastrous toll across racial groups\, with the total number of active business owners dropping 22 percent from February to April\, based on granular data from the federal government’s employment surveys that was made available last week. But minority-owned businesses have suffered disproportionately in a crisis that’s also killing nonwhite Americans at higher rates and eliminating more of their jobs.\n\nExperts have voiced concerns that wealth gaps\, trouble accessing government aid and concentrations in reeling industries have left these companies and the families they support more vulnerable to the pandemic’s fallout. But they’re still working to understand and measure the colliding hardships making the future of minority-owned businesses especially precarious. The new data on ownership by racial group is ​“devastating\,” said Robert Fairlie\, an economics professor at the University of California at Santa Cruz\, who plans to post a working paper on his findings.\n\n“We already have disparities. African Americans have the lowest business-ownership rate in the population. … And so here we’re creating a situation of closures that’s hitting the groups with the lowest rates even harder\,” he said.\nMinority-owned companies often create jobs for people from the owner’s ethnic or racial group\, he said\, and their success radiates out in the community. Research links business ownership to long-term wealth. ​“We’re just going to see further increases in inequality that has been so hard to change\,” Fairlie said.\n\nAs of April\, the country lost nearly 450\,000 active African American business owners as the pandemic intensified\, he found. But the disparities extended into every minority group. The number of working Latino business owners dropped 32 percent from February to April\, while the number of Asian business owners decreased by about a quarter.\n\nImmigrant business owners were also deeply affected\, with their numbers shrinking by 36 percent\, according to the data from monthly nationally representative surveys by the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. One reason for the uneven toll\, according to Fairlie’s analysis: Minority-owned businesses tend to occupy parts of the economy most shaken by the coronavirus and the shutdown orders states have embraced to combat it. High shares of African American-owned ventures\, for example\, are in industries such as beauty salons\, taxi services and day-care centers that have had to close or have faced precipitous drops in demand. However\, industries appear to account for only some of the inequalities\, Fairlie said\, adding he suspects many other factors that are difficult to quantify right now.\n\nMinority owners may be struggling because they’re in areas that have been more affected by and more fearful of the virus\, something tough to draw nationwide conclusions about\, he said. At the same time\, they may have thinner financial cushions\, as a result of long-standing differences in average wealth: 58 percent of black and Latino households in the United States ​“do not have enough income to cover three months of expenses without income\,” compared with 29 percent of white households\, according to the NAACP and minority financial groups. They may have struggled to benefit from the federal government’s multi-billion-dollar loan program for small businesses\, which has drawn criticism for favoring bigger companies with banking relationships. The government has not released data about recipients’ race\, despite some lawmakers’ urging.\n\nThe Center for Responsible Lending\, a nonprofit research and policy group\, sounded alarms in April about the Paycheck Protection Program\, estimating 95 percent of black-owned businesses and 91 percent of Latino-owned businesses were tiny companies with slim chances of receiving a loan in the initial round. Most of those companies are the owner’s primary source of income\, according to its report.\n\nThe Treasury Department has said it is working with the Small Business Administration to prioritize minority-owned businesses and the community financial institutions that often support them\, while some state and local governments and philanthropists have created programs targeted at these groups. But many still see gaps.\n\n“God forbid there’s another round of stimulus and we’re still doing the same thing\,” said Eda Henries\, the chief financial officer of a soul-food company who has organized fellow black professionals to help small businesses navigate aid programs during the pandemic. Questions remain for experts who are wondering exactly how long it will take shops\, restaurants and services that are just reopening to recover. Fairlie’s simulations suggest industry distribution isn’t a driving factor in the loss of 1.1 million immigrant-owned active businesses — leaving him puzzling over the causes.\n\nThe significant dips in the number of working business owners are layered on top of other emerging disparities in the pandemic’s economic impact. According to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll released earlier this month\, 20 percent of Hispanic adults and 16 percent of blacks reported being laid off or furloughed since the coronavirus hit the United States\, compared with 11 percent of whites.\n\n“All recessions exacerbate existing inequalities by race and ethnicity — and always hit black and Hispanic workers harder — but this one will be worse\,” Heidi Shierholz\, policy director at the Economic Policy Institute\, told The Washington Post at the time. ​“It will be an absolute nightmare.”

SUMMARY:Developers: How To Apply for the FHLBank Affordable Housing Program Grant Award
DESCRIPTION:The Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLBank Atlanta) has reopened its Affordable Housing Program (AHP) Competitive round through April 2. Through this program\, FHLBank Atlanta offers member financial institutions and their community housing partners grant awards up to $500\,000 for affordable housing developments in their communities. \nAs a member of FHLBank Atlanta\, Capital Impact Partners welcomes the opportunity to sponsor applications in the Great Lakes region for the 2020 AHP grant award. We are committed to expanding affordable rental and homeownership opportunities for our communities\, and we want to work with you to make that happen. \nReach out to me to discuss an FHLBank Atlanta AHP grant application. \nWhat You Need To Know\nAffordable housing developers (including those in the Great Lakes region) can apply for grant funds with Capital Impact Partners as a member sponsor.\nDevelopers earn additional points on their grant application if their member sponsor (Capital Impact) is part of the project capital stack.\nFunding can be used to help finance the acquisition\, construction\, and rehabilitation of either affordable rental housing or affordable homeownership properties.\nCapital Impact has limited capacity to sponsor applications. We will prioritize applications that we believe have the highest probability of success based on projected application scoring\, project readiness\, and developer experience.\nSince 1982\, Capital Impact has committed more than $300 million to create more than 38\,000 homes in more than 250 communities nationwide. Our mission-driven approach to producing and preserving housing for communities with low incomes makes us the ideal partner for this program. \nIf you have an affordable housing project and you are interested in partnering with Capital Impact to compete for AHP funding\, contact me at npohl@capitalimpact.org or 313–230-1255. \nI look forward to hearing from you about your affordable housing deals!\nBest regards\, \nNicholas Pohl\, Business Development Officer\, Midwest \nCapital Impact Partners

SUMMARY:SEMCOG Regional Update
DESCRIPTION:In case you are not aware\, SEMCOG is gathering testimonials to help advocate for continuance of CDBG funding. \nProposed federal budget eliminates Community Development Block Grants\nThe president’s budget proposal was released last week and local governments were concerned to see the proposal did not include funding for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). In SEMCOG’s discussions with the region’s Congressional delegation\, many expressed concerns over the potential loss of this important support to local governments. In order to aid in Congressional efforts to maintain the CDBG program\, SEMCOG has been asked for examples of how CDBG funds have been used in the past. \nIn order to help retain this important program\, please send very brief descriptions of how your community has used CDGB funds in the past. Please email these descriptions to Bill Anderson. SEMCOG will compile the list and forward the examples to our region’s U.S. Senators and members of Congress\, along with a message in support of this federal program. \nContact: Bill Anderson\, SEMCOG Administration and Government Affairs. \nClick HERE for the full Regional Update!
