Ending Redlining: How the CRA Can Put Communities First

Hosts Len Suzio interviews Josh Silver of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition about his book Ending Redlining Through a Community-Centered Reform of the Community Reinvestment Act. They discuss the historical roots of redlining, how the CRA can promote fair lending, and the need to center community input in regulatory exams. The episode covers practical topics for compliance professionals: disparate impact analysis, performance context, gentrification, assessment area challenges, and how documented community outreach and partnerships can improve CRA outcomes and reduce the risk of enforcement.
