It was such a pleasure to speak today at the National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development (National CAPACD) convention. The hospitality warmed my heart and the voices of participants my mind! I appreciate the opportunity to highlight the work we have done at the U.S. Department of the Treasury that has transformed the field of community finance/ impact investing. Treasury's Approach to Community Finance Policy describes the principles that underlie a wide range of policymaking that has shaped the flow of tens of billions of dollars in federal investment over the past three years and many billions more in private investment leveraged by those federal resources. Thank you to Seema Agnani for her leadership!

Head of Advisory @ Montagu Evans #planninganddevelopment #MEAdvisory #METownCentres #MEPlaceAdvisory #publicprivatepartnerships #urbanregeneration #MagicinMonties Future Managing Partner!
No two situations are likely to be the same! What’s the plan for the assets? Do you have the resources (people and £) to deliver the plan? What does the community want? Will the private sector (alone or in partnership) be a help to the vision for a place? Is there senior leadership of the plan? How do you get the asset(s) ready to sell? Lots to consider - not just what the market value in these market times? But of course things change! Politics, people, PWLB, the original purpose and property itself. A strategic review is no bad idea to decide if rationalisation might be best. I wonder where the receipts will go? To properly address community needs or help with headlines??

April marks National Financial Literacy Month, an essential time for all of us to take stock of our financial knowledge and capabilities, empowering ourselves to make more informed decisions and strengthen our economic well-being. In our latest spotlight video, we introduce Ashley Parham, whose story embodies resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Despite encountering a series of setbacks, she embraced the challenge to rewrite her financial narrative with the support of Norwescap. A sudden accident disrupted Ashley's life, leading to an arduous 9-month recovery period. This misfortune spiraled into mounting debts and a diminishing credit score. To further complicate matters, Ashley found herself without a job due to a layoff. However, Ashley refused to let these obstacles define her future. She sought guidance from Norwescap and connected with Elizabeth Burgenson, the Financial Empowerment Program Coordinator. Together, they embarked on a journey towards reclaiming Ashley's financial independence. But Ashley's aspirations soar above mere financial stability. She dreams of college graduation, securing higher education for her children, and ultimately pursuing her passion for law as a lawyer. Her tenacity suggests that these are not mere dreams but forthcoming realities. Ashley's story is a reminder that with the right help and sheer perseverance, anyone can overcome financial hurdles. Her partnership with Norwescap paves a path many can draw inspiration from. Let Ashley's journey be your motivation; no matter what you face financially, there is a way through to the other side, paved with the victories of every small step forward. Together, we can all find a way to thrive. #FinancialEmpowerment #Inspiration #CommunityImpact #CommunityStrong #NeighborsMatter #MakingADifference #CommunityAction #onenorwescap #norwescap For more information on the Financial Empowerment Program please visit us at: https://lnkd.in/ebtigrbz

Getting to know Hon. Chris Chaplin Born into a Jamaican family that believed in public service, Christopher Chaplin's path was affected by his father, a journalist, and mother, a teacher. These early influences instilled in him a profound respect for education, communication, and service. Chaplin recalls: "I grew up in Jamaica, attended prep school at Alpha Prep and high school at St George's College, and went on to the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and Tobago, where I studied engineering." His parents lived a life of service- helping others- which shaped Chaplin into a person who was always looking to contribute positively to his community. Chaplin's career is a study of adaptability and a drive to make significant impacts in various sectors. Initially embarking on a path in engineering, he quickly realized his passions lay elsewhere. "As an engineer, I worked at the Ministry of Construction... but I realized I had little interest in engineering." Chaplin openly shares about his early career redirection. His path took a fortuitous turn when he joined the banking sector, where he became instrumental in projects to revitalize Jamaica's economy. "I was part of a multidisciplinary team at Jamaica's central bank, the Bank of Jamaica... we would go out to all the factories, all the businesses, agricultural enterprises in Jamaica, to set up funding for them," he explains, detailing his transition from engineering to banking. This phase of his career allowed him to contribute to Jamaica's economic development and equipped him with a broad understanding of finance. He expanded his knowledge by earning an MBA from The George Washington University in Washington D.C. and further honed his resume through significant roles in Jamaican and American financial institutions. Reflecting on his banking career in the U.S., Chaplin notes, "I worked for PNC Bank... I went through their credit training program and was part of their media lending team. So, we helped finance Comcast, Charter Communications, and Fox News Media. Thus, I participated in the beginning transactions of some of the large corporations in the United States, and it was a great experience. Eventually, I segued into Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund), chartered to finance underserved communities in the United States." His career has been a testament to his belief in using finance as a tool for community development and empowerment. Follow the link below to read the rest of Hon. Chris Chaplin's story! https://lnkd.in/eh-EGMvW #funtimesmagazine #communityleader #communityimpact #blackexcellence

The financial expert who helps established consultants make more money and pay less tax, so they can focus on what's truly important.
Friday Fun Financial Fact: This one is a repeat for those not ok with the status quo... When governments raise taxes to excessive levels, it can have significant implications for individuals, businesses, and the overall economy. Let's explore what happens when taxes are increased beyond reasonable limits. 1. Financial Strain: It's disheartening to see hard-earned income diminished, hindering financial security, limiting opportunities, and providing for loved ones. 2. Crushed Dreams: Higher taxes can crush dreams and hinder personal growth. Reduced disposable income makes it harder to invest in education, start businesses, or pursue aspirations. The weight of excessive taxes suffocates dreams and restricts possibilities. 3. Feeling Trapped: The burden of high taxation restricts the ability to make significant purchases, pursue hobbies, or indulge in experiences that bring joy and fulfillment. It can create a sense of being trapped in a cycle of working solely to meet tax obligations. 4. Crippling Small Businesses: Small businesses, often driven by passion and entrepreneurial spirit, bear a heavy burden when taxes become overwhelming. Excessive tax rates can lead to reduced profitability, making it challenging to sustain operations, pay employees, or invest in growth. 5. Lost Opportunities for Community Development: Excessive taxation stifles community development initiatives. When individuals and businesses have limited resources due to high taxes, charitable contributions, community projects, and philanthropic endeavors suffer. This loss of support for community causes can dampen the spirit of togetherness and hinder the progress of social initiatives. 6. Sense of Injustice and Frustration: It feels unfair when hard-earned money is taken away to fund inefficient or mismanaged government programs. The resulting frustration can lead to a lack of trust in the system and a desire for change. 7. Emotional Toll on Mental Well-being: The constant worry and stress associated with high taxes can take a toll on mental well-being. It is essential to address the emotional impact of excessive taxation and find ways to alleviate the burden. 8. Capital and Innovation simply leave: Business owners and leaders will move where it's easier and more rewarding to run a business. Understanding the emotional toll of excessive taxation is crucial. Striving for a balanced and fair tax system is necessary to inspire financial well-being, empower dreams, and foster a sense of freedom for the dreamers and doers - for business owners like us! Let's reduce your taxes! Let's Grow, Control, and Keep YOUR money!! Let's design an even better future!!!
