UNC’s Center for Community Capital researches how to make financial systems work better for more people.

@CommunityCap is very excited to partner with @unc_law's @kateelengold, @WeAreUnidosUS, and @LuminaFound to explore the role of debt and debt aversion in higher education equity, with a special focus on Latino/a students.

Our new research out now @CommunityCap! And there is more from this study. For a full legal theory exposition of the "investment imperative," see papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…. For an understanding of why borrowers don't see student debt as a legal problem, see protectborrowers.org/lawyers-and-st…

New research briefs from UNC Center for Community Capital. The research draws out themes and identifies takeaways from in-depth interviews with 65 student loan borrowers about promises and pitfalls of higher education. communitycapital.unc.edu/student-loan-d… @kateelengold @julialbarnard (1/x)



nytimes.com/2019/02/20/bus… "The law permits an investor to roll over an unrealized capital gain into an opportunity-zone fund. The fund can then put the money in a zone by investing in, say, a condo project or affordable-housing units." <<<big difference at the end there.


So are we!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Excited to make my relationship with the amazing UNC @CommunityCap official. I'm looking forward to continuing to research the effects of student debt with this incredible team. communitycapital.unc.edu/about-us/who-w…
