CRA 101: Using The Community Reinvestment Act to Develop Neighborhoods
and Protect Against Foreclosure

This course will explain how CRA can be used to stop predatory lending,
develop neighborhoods and build wealth through increases in small
business and homeownership. Learn how CRA exams scrutinize bank
lending, investing and bank branching in low-and-moderate-income
neighborhoods and how community organizations' comments on CRA exams and
merger applications can result in increases in bank financing in
neighborhoods. CRA also can motivate dialogue and partnerships with
banks that result in the introduction of new products and programs
including foreclosure prevention initiatives.
