A Long-Term View On The Costs Of Shelter, Federal Reserve Governor Michael S. Barr, At “Housing Affordability 2026: A Community Development Summit,” Hosted By The Federal Reserve Bank Of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois

Date 23/09/2026

Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you. My interest in access to affordable housing spans several decades. During my career, I have worked on housing and mortgage market reform and promoted access to credit for low- and moderate- income (LMI) households. I've seen firsthand what public–private partnerships in low-income communities can mean for improving affordable housing, from the South Bronx, to the South Side of Chicago, to the Mississippi Delta, to South Central L.A., and places in between. Now at the Federal Reserve Board, I oversee our Division of Consumer and Community Affairs and participate in rate-setting decisions that affect the economy. By pursuing maximum employment and stable prices, the Federal Reserve seeks to create the stable macroeconomic environment necessary for households to maintain purchasing power, earn reliable incomes, access housing, and, ultimately, build capital through homeownership and other forms of investment.
