The History of the Community Development Program
2
At the Richmond Bank, our department is called Community Development.
In 1981, the Federal Reserve System established the Community Affairs program in each of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks.
The Community Affairs program reflects the structure of the Federal Reserve System. Within the framework of a shared mission and goals, each of the 12 Reserve Banks establishes its own Community Affairs programs and responds to local needs in its District.
