Every community has a story worth telling. That’s why the “Where the Streets Have No Name” bike tour is setting out on a 5,000-mile ride from San Francisco to Washington, DC next spring, stopping to listen, share, and learn from the people who call each place home.
Fahe is honored to stand behind this effort with Partners for Rural Transformation (PRT). With Appalachia among the regions on the route, the tour puts overlooked corners of the country at the center of the story.
The Launch Webinar is the first chance to learn how the journey came together and how you can take part.
Launch Webinar: “Where the Streets Have No Name” Bike Tour

What a week at OFN42 in New Orleans! We loved the music, the conversations, and seeing our former Fahe intern thriving in her new role at OFN.
Fahe President Sara Morgan joined the CDFI Women’s Network panel on Wednesday and Friday’s Scaling Solutions for Rural Homeownership discussion. Vice President of Research Katy Stigers attended Tuesday’s CDFI Research Symposium and co-facilitated Friday’s Impact, Evaluation & Research workshop with colleagues from OFN’s research team peer learning network.
We were proud to bring our rural housing expertise to the table.
More pictures continued in the replies!

OFN42 kicks off tomorrow in New Orleans, bringing together more than 2,000 attendees to explore what’s working and what’s evolving in community development finance under the theme Opportunity Next.
Fahe President Sara Morgan will join two panels: the CDFI Women’s Network panel on Wednesday, Oct. 21, and Scaling Solutions for Rural Homeownership on Friday, Oct. 23. Both sessions put Appalachia’s perspective in the room, while connecting the leaders shaping what comes next.
When rural communities have a voice, opportunity reaches further.
