Today is the last day to comment on the proposed CRA rollback. Here is what is at stake.

Banks in the top 100 currently devote a median of 6.8% of their tier 1 capital to community development lending. The proposed rule would let them pass their CRA exam at just 0.625%, less than one-tenth of what they do today.

NCRC’s analysis found that if banks reduced activity to that floor, community development financing would drop by more than $87 billion a year. That is an 85% cut to affordable housing investment, small business lending and community development across the country.

The comment deadline is today, October 13. Visit https://hubs.ly/Q04B12Pb0 to take action now.

“The OCC and FDIC should listen to communities, housing providers and lenders during this comment period and abandon changes that would make our housing crisis harder to solve,” said Jesse Van Tol, president and CEO of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition. via https://hubs.ly/Q04B0Q_M0

Today, the Community Reinvestment Act turns 49. We’re marking the occasion by reflecting on what makes CRA work: the partnerships between banks and community organizations that have opened doors to capital in neighborhoods that were once redlined and written off.

In a new piece, NCRC Senior Fellow Josh Silver highlights how those partnerships took root in the 1970s and continue today. In Los Angeles, the Vermont-Slauson Economic Development Corporation used CRA to bring more than $3 million in bank capital to its CDFI since 2018, supporting 58 loans to immigrant, women and minority-owned small businesses.

But CRA’s future is uncertain. The FDIC and OCC have proposed a rule that could cost communities billions in affordable housing and community development financing. Comment letters are due October 13.

The CRA is about accountability and what happens when that accountability is weakened.

The proposed rollback could put 5,000 branches in low-income neighborhoods and 4,000 branches in majority communities of color outside federal CRA accountability.

The law works. Banks need clear rules, and communities need real investment, and a rollback delivers neither. Tell regulators to protect the CRA by submitting a comment before October 13: https://hubs.ly/Q04zPFVP0

Regulators are deciding right now whether to weaken the Community Reinvestment Act, and the track record shows what's at stake.

Between 2010 and 2024, the CRA helped bring nearly $5 trillion in home and small business loans into underserved communities.

The law works. Banks need clear rules, and communities need real investment, and a rollback delivers neither. Comments are due October 13: https://hubs.ly/Q04zPF3q0

We are so proud to share that the 2026-2027 Irvin M. Henderson Fellowship cohort is complete — all 9 fellows have joined us, and we could not be more excited to welcome them!

Over the past weeks we have introduced each of them, and it has been incredible to see the range of talent, passion and commitment they bring to this work. These nine fellows represent the next generation of community reinvestment and economic justice leaders, and we are honored to walk alongside them this year.

Here’s to a powerful year ahead. https://hubs.ly/Q04zNTnx0
