The Asset Funders Network hosted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on June 22, 2023, to showcase the release of a new profile on consumer experiences in the South, particularly in rural communities and communities of color. The webinar highlighted the impact of medical debt, efforts to create transparency in small business lending, and elevated trends and gaps in mortgage lending. As grantmakers working to invest in strategies that help close the wealth gap, this conversation featured new data to inform funder engagement. States highlighted in the report are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
