The Cost of Residents’ Financial Insecurity to City Budgets

This webinar, presented in partnership with the Urban Institute, Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund, CFED, National League of Cities, and PolicyLink, will summarize findings from 10 cities (Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, San Francisco, and Seattle), highlighting the costs of eviction and unpaid property tax and utility bills among financially insecure residents or households with less than $2,000 in savings. Panelists will discuss local-level programs in various cities that address financial insecurity, noting both the successes and challenges moving cities and their residents toward greater financial security. Finally, the panel will take questions from participants.
