The ongoing economic crisis in our country has deeply impacted all Americans, including Asian immigrant communities. Foreclosures have struck hard, but the reinvestment in financial institutions by President Obama is poised to stimulate the economy and stabilize neighborhoods. This workshop will provide an overview of the major economic changes that have occurred in 2009 with a specific focus on policy issues related to affordable housing, equitable development, environmental sustainability and neighborhood preservation.
