The Community Development Finance Lab examines community capital markets through real-world projects and produces working tools, such as organizations can use everyday. The course consists of three components: (1) classroom instruction on analysis, underwriting and structuring to build technical skills, (2) lectures by community development finance experts on specific finance-related issues and techniques, and (3) team projects that allows students to work in partnership with community-based organizations to complete feasibility studies or business plans for financing their community economic development projects. Not open to students who have taken Community Development Finance Lab I & II.
