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: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!

SUMMARY:Nonprofit Quarterly Article - Neighborhood Infrastructures: The Historic New Roles of CDCs
DESCRIPTION:Community and economic development professionals in cities use a variety of strategies to grow their local communities\, shape their economies\, and advance equity and inclusion. As NPQ has reported\, both in its newswires and through its Economy Remixseries\, including community voices and enhancing relationships is vital to any successful community or economic development effort. While there are a growing number of new community development mechanisms\, such as the federal Opportunity Zone initiative\, many traditional approaches still have tremendous value. \nOne often overlooked instrument is the Community Development Corporation (CDC)\, which has a rich history of mobilizing billions of dollars—$12 billion in the state of New Jersey alone—and creating resilient structures within low-income communities. For decades\, CDCs have tackled some of America’s most challenging problems: neighborhood revitalization\, affordable housing\, community economic development\, workforce development and job creation\, financial empowerment\, and food access. Through these efforts\, CDCs have local impact by improving economic opportunities and social conditions in the communities they serve. Central to the CDC model is community engagement\, an approach detailed in NPQ​’s June 2018 newswire on Detroit’s Sinai-Grace Guild Community Development Corporation. \nRead More Here
