Over the past several years, SPCPs have emerged as a powerful tool for addressing persistent lending disparities. At the encouragement of regulators, advocates and others, many institutions have launched SPCPs specifically designed to close lending gaps in communities of color, with very promising results. 

Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) are in a unique position to reach these populations, but there has been growing concerns about the continued viability of these programs considering recent legal challenges to race-conscious programs in other areas. The panel discussion will end with a Q&A from the audience.
