Invite you to join the third in a series of conversations about economic issues affecting DC’s individuals, families and communities and critical tools that can measurably improve financial well-being. Like our at-capacity and lively first two meetings in February and May on the Earned Income Tax Credit and Credit-Building Initiatives, respectively, and future sessions, this meeting will consider current research and best practices.
This session will focus on exploring what it is to be unbanked or underbanked, how it impacts low- and moderate-income individuals and explore ways to address this issue in the District of Columbia. Participants can expect a robust discussion about cross-sector strategies that can contribute significantly to a more inclusive, equitable DC economy.
