Welcome to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Network of Wisconsin. The CRA Network of Wisconsin was formed in 2018 by the Wisconsin Economic Development Association to help match financial institutions and foundations with economic inclusion strategies across Wisconsin. The CRA Network has created six (6) regions to help align the community development needs and opportunties of both financial institutions and the communities that are in served in each region.  This event is free, but registration is requested.  The meeting will be held at Waterfront Restaurant, 328 Front Street South, La Crosse WI A meeting with Financial Institutions (in closed session) will commence at 10:00 AM.   A networking lunch with financial institutions, housing, workforce, community and economic development professionals will be held at Noon.  The luncheon presenter is still being finalized, but the SBA has been invited to participate in the regional meetings.  We anticipate discussing the disaster recovery.

The CRA Network has an application process that allows local and regional projects to be reviewed for eligibile CRA activities. The project presentations will outline technical assistance, financing or other activities may be for financial institutions and foundations. Disaster recovery is an eligible CRA activity.
