Happy Birthday CRA! The Community Reinvestment Act was signed into law on October 12, 1977 and it puts billions into underserved communities annually! And yet, some of the largest players in the banking industry filed a complaint in federal court to stop the new CRA rules from being implemented. Help us hold banks accountable!

What an amazing team doing important work!👏
Executive Director - Catapult Greater Pittsburgh- Creating intentional opportunities for asset and wealth building through Homeownership and Entrepreneurship. Reducing generational poverty, one family at a time.
Thank you to Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group for acknowledging the great work of my incredible team in making the Startup to Storefront program an award worthy program for entrepreneurs. LACHELLE BELL Kayla Bowyer and Nissa'a Stallworth - Hewitt make these entrepreneurship programs a safe haven full of love, support AND accountability. We work hard to create intentional opportunities for our participants to heal, learn and grow in a safe and nurturing environment and we can’t do this work without strong compassionate leaders like Lingaire Njie, MSW and Tanika Harris, who provide the hands on leadership necessary to lead a growing team, stay innovative and provide excellent customer care. Their leadership allows me the space and time to build our fundraising strategies and expansion plans with Jodi Salant, one of the most compassionate, caring, creative grant writer and development professionals I know. There are so many incredible hearts and minds making this organization what it is and I can’t believe I get to work with them every day💚 I’m so proud. #entrepreneurship #assetbuilding #wealthbuilding #supplementalincome #CatapultGreaterPittsburgh
