For nearly 25 years, the Child Tax Credit has helped eligible American families with the cost of raising children. In 2021, the American Rescue Plan included significant changes to the credit: the amount per child was increased, 26 million more children were made eligible for the benefit, and the credit became a monthly cash payment as opposed to an annual lump sum. The impact of these changes are profound with experts saying that childhood poverty could be cut in half. In this final episode of Add Passion and Stir's Child Tax Credit series, we explore the impact the credit is having on families and it's role in reducing child poverty in America. Share Our Strength's Billy Shore speaks with Kim Ford, CEO of Washington, DC-based Martha's Table and Cailyn Thomas, Family Engagement Specialist at Martha's Table. For Kim, the power of the credit's direct monthly cash payments: “It's very different when you respect someone to the point where you say, ‘this is your money and you make your own decision with it.'” We also hear from Sam Daley-Harris, an activist and founder of the international citizens' lobby RESULTS, about the role everyone has in advocating for an extension of the credit. As Sam describes it, “Transformational advocacy is where the advocate grows and sees themselves in a new light, sees themselves in a way they never imagined possible, sees themselves as a community leader.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When the U.S. government decided to provide funds to struggling Americans in the pandemic, it needed a way to move a lot of money to a lot of people quickly. While direct deposit information from tax returns helped, some people who most needed assistance weren’t in the system.  So, the Department of Treasury used a combination of paper checks and prepaid cards from a program it calls the U.S. Debit Card. That program was part of an existing contract that allowed the government to use prepaid cards for disbursements.   IPA members Fiserv and Metabank are instrumental in that program, and in this episode, we talk with Kim Ford, Senior Vice President for Government Relations at Fiserv about how the cards work and how they came to be used for stimulus funds.

Everyone is talking about faster and real-time payments. But for corporate treasury departments in the United States, it hasn’t really caught on yet except for some, very specific use cases. Corporate treasury professionals typically aren’t the ones to jump at investing in some flashy new technology. On the other hand, there is a question of whether the U.S. is going to catch up to other nations. In this episode of AFP Conversations, we discuss real-time, what it has to offer, and what its limitations are, with Kim Ford, Executive Director of the U.S. Faster Payments Council. The Faster Payments Council was established to allow Americans to pay anyone safely and securely, anywhere, at any time and with near-immediate funds availability.  For more insights, download the AFP Payments Guide, Electronic and Real-Time Payments in Practice, underwritten by MUFG Union Bank.

On today’s episode of resistance radio Dr. Déry and Ms. Kim Ford discuss current political topics including the amazing movie just Mercy based on the book by Bryon Stevenson.

A  Better Way, Please Last week I tried to connect my accounts at two different banks. Between account type mismatches (my bad), long account numbers, ACH micro-deposits, and balky websites, well, I’ll confess I put a check in the mail as a “quicker” way of overcoming the electronic barriers. Snail mail. Really? That situation, and many more where speed matters, is exactly why the world is turning to faster payment systems that allow the accountholder to push money from an account she controls to a recipient in near real-time. To eliminate entry, and sharing, of bank routing and recipient account numbers, today’s faster payments systems are often enhanced by a directory that maps the recipient’s name to a mobile number or email address. The director connects those to the underlying bank account. This is great stuff, especially for the United States where so many push payment methods exist based on closed loop or incumbent payment rails. The U.S. now has providers like Venmo using balance transfers and card rails (Visa Direct, Mastercard Send) to make realtime P2P transfers workable. NACHA has sped up the automated clearinghouse (ACH) system to run batches a few times a day to accomplish its Same Day ACH service. We have Zelle, the P2P service stood up by Early Warning Services,  that combines a directory with immediate funds transfer availability for the recipient and interbank settlement running over, yet again, an incumbent payment system, in this case the ACH. Every one of these approaches has merit and traction. New Rails, New Rules That said, the new realtime systems are growing here too. Built with modern software and messaging protocols, they promise to change how both end-user settlement and inter-bank settlement is accomplished. The first on the scene was the Real Time Payment (RTP) network from The Clearing House (TCH). Launched in 2017, the largest financial institutions and bank processors are integrating their core systems—the software that manages accountholder balances and transaction activity—to the RTP Network. And this summer, the Federal Reserve announced it will build and operate its own faster payments system called FedNow. Like TCH, the Fed has operated multiple payment systems and been the preferred operator for the nation’s smaller financial institutions. New Complexities Competitive pressures, market guidance, and regulation are what move the U.S. economy. The Federal Reserve provided plenty of guidance to encourage development and deployment of faster payment systems. THC’s RTP Network was among the first to respond. These new rails are a result of a multi-year effort by the Federal Reserve to shepherd the highly competitive U.S. payments industry toward the development of these faster payment systems. The RTP Network and FedNow are proof of its success and that of the Faster Payments Task Force, the group convened by the Fed to define the characteristics of the new approaches.  But there’s still a lot of work to do. Questions of governance, implementation, and more abound. Interoperability concerns are especially high. These are, after all, competitive systems. The New Organizing Principle - The US Faster Payments Council To keep the evolution of the U.S. faster payments moving forward, the US Faster Payments Council was formed. Many Task Force members have joined as members of the Council. The Council serves as an industry-led organization that supports collaboration across multiple areas including security, end user education, and interoperability. In other words, the Council will be herding some very big cats. The U.S. Faster Payments Barometer To support its education and collaboration efforts, the US Faster Payments Council is conducting a survey of industry views on faster payments advancements. A multi-year survey, to monitor the momentum and evolution of Faster Payments here in the U.S. market. The survey is designed to identify key criteria for market adoption, broadly gauge momentum for various use case applications, and seek to address challenges to be solved in order to have a well-established Faster Payments ecosystem. Take the Survey Talking Faster Payments In this Payments on Fire® episode, Faster Payments Council Executive Director Kim Ford discusses the Council’s work, the U.S. Faster Payments Barometer survey, and where we are today with Glenbrook’s Beth Horowitz Steel and Elizabeth McQuerry. Take a listen and take the survey. You’ll contribute to the Council’s education, planning, and prioritization work.

What are “faster payments” and what do they mean for the payments industry? Kim Ford, the director of the U.S. Faster Payments Council answers these questions for us. We discover what the definition of faster payments is, who the players are, and what faster payments mean for the future of the industry.

Two dynamic forces have come together to create opportunity and equity in Washington DC’s historically underserved neighborhoods. One is Martha’s Table, a nonprofit whose mission is to support strong children, strong families and strong communities. It transforms the lives of Ward 5, 6, 7 and 8 residents through high-quality education programs, access to healthy food, and ongoing family supports. Most recently, it opened The Commons, a 43,000 square foot facility in Ward 8, where babies are cared for, children learn to read, and parents shop in markets, at no cost, for delicious and healthy fruit and vegetables. The other factor is Kim Ford, an accomplished leader and DC native, who recently signed on as the new executive director. Kim, a veteran of the Obama Administration and the former Dean of Workforce Development at the University of the District of Columbia Community College, is a relentless champion of DC families. She sees herself as a partner to the residents that Martha’s Table serves. And, she rejects the notion of organizations as saviors and providers of second chances. Instead, she believes that residents are stepping up to provide themselves with first chances. Martha’s Table works every day with other community-based nonprofits, including Urban Alliance, Capital Area Food Bank, Jubilee Housing and Community of Hope and with City agencies to deliver the full complement of expertise a community needs to be successful. Part of being a strong community is the ability to take root and stay in place. The Commons communicates the expectation that the next stage of development in Ward 8 must include rather than displace current residents. That is the model of development that our communities need and deserve.  

Kim Ford is the founder/publisher of JubileeMag.com, an online faith-based magazine covering faith, culture and style, based in Atlanta, GA. She’s also a speaker and the author of “The Success Mindset: How To NOT Give Up After A Huge Setback”.

Joining us for this week's episode of Crosstown Conversations were Kim Ford, an activist in the 9th Ward, Ginette Bone, a gallery owner in the Warehouse District and Andreanecia Morris of HousingNOLA, and Jeff Schwartz and Dasjon Jordan of Broad Community Connections. Jeanne Nathan leads them through a candid conversation on revitalization, rebuilding, displacement, gentrification and life eleven years after Hurricane Katrina.

Last week I chatted with a good friend of mines Ms. Kim Ford on Facebook and I receive some disturbing news.  She told me that her 22-year-old baby boy was murdered in February of this year.  That was very disturbing to me because as Christians if one of our brother and sisters hurt, we hurt.  That could have been one of my relatives as well.  There something going on in the atmosphere of Baltimore right now where our young Afro-American males think it's cool to kill and murder each other.  Now we have a mother who will never see her son grow up, have a family and make something of himself.  But the one pulling the trigger didn't think about that, he just pulled the trigger.  And what got me is that she said that the "Coward" shot him in the back. Well after hearing that news, I got to thinking how can we make it know that this isn't right in so many ways.  So I called Daphne Alston of Mothers of Murdered Sons and Daughters, Dec. Thomas Farr, and Min. Larry Watkins.  I want to get all the power hitters on the show along with Ms. Ford and let's talk about this thing and make it known that it's not right, and why is it happening.  We need to expose the Devil for who he is and stop him from taking our children out.  A parent should never outlive their children, but it's happening.   So please join me Hezekiah L. Montgomery host of Man In The Mirror and co-host Nichelle Johnson on May 7, 2016 at 9 PM as we bring on Ms. Kim Ford for support and our Power Panel as we discuss this pandemic that is getting out of control.  Call in at 917-889-2271 or log in at www.blogtalkradio.com/man-in-themirror.  Please join us as we support our sister Kim Ford.    

Good evening Baltimore, Kia here with another Hezekiah Moment, When will it stop!!!  I want to prepare you guys for the special show that we have coming up this Friday the 6th of May.  I heard a few weeks ago that a friend of mines son was killed back in February and he was only 22.  When she told me that it hit home, that this is REAL!!!! I was hurt because she was hurt.  My mind started racing, and after giving her my condolences.  I asked her if she'd be on the show and talk with us about it along with Daphne Alston of M.O.M.S. Mothers of Murdered Sons and Daughters.  Then I got another thought let's bring on some men of God along with us to help us see what is going on with our young Afro-American men that they are killing, murdering, shooting, whatever you want to call it they are doing it.   I then called Dec. Thomas Farr of "Issues" Christian Men Talk, and Pastor Larry Watkins of Salt and Light Ministries and we're going to have a panel discussion on this ever so unfriendly issue, why is it happening, and When does it Stop!!!!  This is our first panel discussion and we want you guys to call in, listen in, take notes, ask questions and pray with us that we'll all get some kind of understanding of it and will be able to support our sister as she's still mourning. Join me, Hezekiah L. Montgomery host of Man In The Mirror and Nichelle Johnson our lovely co-host on May 6, 2016 at 9 PM as we welcome Ms. Kim Ford, Daphne Alston, Dec. Farr and Pastor Larry Watkins to the show and get a real understanding of what is going on and hopefully will be able support our sisters and brothers that are out there hurting.  Call in at 917-889-2271 or log in at www.blogtalkradio.com/man-in-themirror.  

Jeanne reviews where New Orleans and its communities stands in its recovery 10 years after the storm — and compares the city’s recovery from Hurricane Katrina to its recovery from Hurricane Betsy; with Kim Ford, Executive Director of the L9 Resilience Festival, and Ro Brown, former WDSU sports anchor and Sports Director at WBOK-AM. Then, Monique Moss, choreographer and artistic director at Third Eye Theatre, promotes “9th Ward Improv Opera,” an interdisciplinary performance work to commemorate Katrina 10. Finally, author and New Orleans local Morgan Molthrop promotes a planned art installation in Mid-City to commemorate the storm; and actor and former City Councilman Oliver Thomas calls in to join the panel.

Lower Ninth Ward resident and community leader Calvin Alexander reminisces about about why he chose to live in Holy Cross, his return to New Orleans after the storm, real estate speculators in his neighborhood, and his public anger with the proposal to turn the Lower Ninth north of Galvez into green space. Also, Kim Ford, Executive Director of the L9 Resilience Festival, shares her memories of returning to the Lower Nine, and progress in redevelopment there.

Louisiana Appleseed’s projects seek to increase access to education, opportunity and justice. “Hey did you want to talk for a second?” asks Christy Kane from behind a table at Dillard University’s Housing Fair. “We’re here to talk about clear title today, and why it’s important if you own a home to have the paperwork in your name,” Kane explains to Kim Ford, who’s standing on the other side of the table. Kane asks Ms. Ford if she owns a home or is planning to at some point. And she does, but… “My husband purchased the property in his name alone because he had a better credit score,” explains Ford. “So we wanted to become homeowners, and that was the only way we could do it if we left my name off. But guess what? He has a child from a previous relationship.” Even though Ford’s name is not on the title,
