Summary
The Community Reinvestment Act was enacted in 1977 to encourage federally insured banking institutions (commercial banks and savings associations) to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low and moderate income households in their service area.
MBA offers a one-day workshop on December 15 in Charlotte, N.C. to bring together mortgage lenders who have met or exceeded CRA requirements, with those who wish to improve or expand upon their CRA mortgage lending programs. Regulatory developments as well as practical case studies and best practices will be covered.
Panel topics will include:
