Here’s some of what we and our members accomplished last year:
- We conducted 433 fair housing and fair lending tests across the country
- We facilitated a $6.5 billion community benefits agreement with First Citizens Bank following its March acquisition of Silicon Valley Bank
- We published ground-breaking research that documented the breathtaking scope and brutal costs of disinvestment in native communities
- We led community advocacy for new federal rules to strengthen the Community Reinvestment Act and to require lenders to report basic data on their small business loans
Our 700+ member organizations drive and lead that work on the ground in their communities across the nation, and their impact is stronger thanks to the support of individual donors like you who share our vision to solve America’s historic racial and socio-economic wealth, income and opportunity divides.
Together, we facilitate dialog and secure commitments from banks to invest in the communities where they do business. We renovate and build affordable homes for low- and moderate-income families, provide expertise and financial support to housing counselors, and business-building expertise and financing to entrepreneurs. Our research, investigations and publications inform and influence policymakers to pursue stronger laws, rules and enforcement to protect consumers and to ensure that the private sector does its part to drive inequality out of the economy.
