About the Forum

The Forum centered on opportunities created by the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. Discussions emphasized aligning federal resources with local priorities, strengthening community capacity, and ensuring under-resourced communities are equipped to access, deploy, and manage these investments in support of long-term economic mobility.
