Join us in opposing changes that would weaken the federal CRA as a community development tool.
Congress passed the federal Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) in 1977 to address redlining. It creates a continuing and affirmative responsibility for banks to make loans and investments in the communities where they do business, including low- and moderate-income communities, underserved communities, and rural areas.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) have issued proposed rules that would significantly weaken the federal CRA's regulatory oversight and reduce banks' incentives to invest in community development.
