Today we meet at the intersection of housing finance and policy with Kara Ward, Partner at Holland & Knight, who has worked extensively on efforts to reform the single-family residential housing system. Learn about innovations, policies, and efforts underway to open up housing opportunities for disadvantaged and underserved communities. Find out how COVID-19 affected unbanked households and what we can expect under the Biden Administration in housing finance.

Kara frequently works on issues involving the U.S. House Financial Services Committee, U.S. Senate Banking Committee, U.S. Department of the Treasury, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the U.S. Federal Reserve System.

This is part one.
