Two years ago the research team at NYU hosted an expert webinar on "the gathering storm" of the pandemic and the crisis it presented for low-income households and the MFI industry. Two years later, this webinar looked back on the pandemic, where predictions and concerns were wrong and right, how the industry has weathered the storm, and what challenges remain.
