Conversations with the community make a difference in advancing a strong economy. Community development practitioners often conduct research with communities as partners through community-engaged research. This approach invites stakeholders into the research process to learn what’s working best. Register today for the next Connecting Communities webinar to learn more: https://bit.ly/3Snsfts Join Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, and Fed Communities to hear examples of how community-engaged methods can highlight the experience of workers and jobseekers. Attendees will hear what researchers are learning from these conversations and how institutions, organizations, or communities can leverage the same principles. #Community #Research #EconomicDevelopment

The phenomenon of governments implementing populist policies, often driven by political expediency rather than the genuine needs of communities, is a significant challenge in modern governance. Populist policies are typically designed to appeal to the emotions and immediate concerns of the public to garner support and secure votes. However, they might not necessarily address the core issues or long-term needs of the communities they claim to represent. Politicians often prioritize policies that resonate with public sentiment in order to secure or maintain their positions in power. These policies might offer quick fixes or immediate benefits that appeal to voters during election cycles. Populist policies tend to focus on short-term gains that might provide immediate relief or gratification but often lack sustainable solutions for enduring issues within communities. The effects of this syndrome is resource misallocation. Funds and resources might be allocated to initiatives that serve political goals rather than being directed towards critical community needs like infrastructure, education, healthcare, or employment opportunities. Another visible effect is policy instability. Populist policies can lead to erratic policy changes as they are often driven by political cycles rather than long-term planning. This inconsistency can hinder progress and disrupt community development efforts.

Whether it’s community economic development or the development of individual enterprises and industries, success is a function of six broad categories. Regional Strategic, Ltd. occupies two slices of the pie: Foundation and Position. Some people think of them as the “Due diligence” functions of successful development. · Can your target generate enough spend? · Can your location generate enough traffic? · Are the workforce, infrastructure, and environment suitable? · Will cash-flow and profit justify financing? · Will success drive sufficient community expenditures to justify support? Regional Strategic, Ltd. can help with all of these or fill in the gaps where you need support. #economicdevelopment #communitydevelopment #ruraldevelopment #businessplanning #economicimpactanalysis #marketresearch

New York City’s least-dense community districts are permitting new housing at lower rates compared to the rest of the city, raising questions for policymakers over how to achieve fair and equitable housing growth across a broad range of neighborhood types. Data analyzed by the NYU Furman Center shows that the city’s lowest-density community districts (LDCDs) take up 44.7 percent of the total land across the five boroughs but contain just 28.4 percent of the city’s population. What’s more, the research finds that the lowest-density community districts added housing at only half the rate of the city overall between 2010 and 2020. https://buff.ly/47wBn4J You can read much more about New York City's LDCDs in the NYU Furman Center's State of the City 2022 ➡️ https://buff.ly/3Ysie08

Financial constraints, the rising cost of living, population growth, and increasing community demand for services are just a few of the challenges faced by councils. But what if I told you that there's a way to actively involve the community in exploring solutions to these issues? Community engagement processes that support the development of community visions and council plans provide a unique opportunity to work collaboratively with the community. My latest blog post discusses the value of trusting the community to grapple with the tough questions about the future sustainability of councils. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gYfF-w_D Let's move beyond the loudest voices and embrace the power of collaboration and deliberative engagement. #corporateplanning #deliberativeengagement #thepowerofcollaboration #trustthecommunity #strategicplanning #communityengagement #movingbeyondtheloudestvoices

The Community Conditions Survey is a new report from the Kansas City Fed that collects qualitative information from Tenth District organizations that work with low- and moderate-income (LMI) populations. The survey seeks to monitor economic conditions, as well as better understand challenges facing LMI communities. The first survey found: ▪️ Conditions in the Tenth District’s LMI communities declined over the last six months, despite continued strength in the ability of LMI individuals to find work. ▪️ Current conditions for economic mobility, housing, personal finance, small business credit, and human services were reported as poor, with housing-related contacts especially downbeat. ▪️ Survey respondents were optimistic on employment and healthcare access.
