  • Janet Yellen Mentions Investing in What Works

Federal Reserve Board Chair Janet Yellen mentioned the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and Low Income Investment Fund’s co-published book, Investing in What Works for America’s Communities, during her keynote at the 2014 National Interagency Community Reinvestment Conference. She cited the book project as one of the most promising community development initiatives in the country. Federal Reserve Board Chair Yellen goes on to describe how the Community Quarterback model advocated for within the book helps coordinate efforts and leverage funding among groups working towards shared goals.
