So much has changed&nbsp; since CRA was created in 1977, including the emergence of online lending and the rise of nonbanks that now make the majority of mortgage loans. All lenders, not just banks, should be accountable and obligated to serve and strengthen low- and moderate-income communities and communities of color. The rules themselves need to be strengthened to produce better results, and regulators need to strengthen their enforcement. There&#8217;s still a long way to go to fulfill the transformational objectives of the Community Reinvestment Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt&#8217;s also long past time to update CRA to include <a href=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/adding-robust-consideration-of-race-to-community-reinvestment-act-regulations-an-essential-and-constitutional-proposal\/\">a robust consideration of race<\/a>. CRA was established to combat and reverse the overtly racist outcomes of redlining that defined access to homeownership and personal wealth in the 20th Century. Those outcomes have endured in this century in lower homeownership<a href=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/60-black-homeownership-a-radical-goal-for-black-wealth-development\/\"> rates<\/a> for people of color, <a href=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/holc-health\/\">in disinvestment and health risks<\/a> in formerly redlined communities, and in a racial wealth gap that needs to be solved, not just studied and discussed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting the disastrous 2020 CRA rule fully rescinded was a hard-fought battle that involved comments from hundreds of our members across the nation and this is a huge victory for them and their communities.
