These comments are submitted on behalf of the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) and the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL) to express our organization’s strong support for effective enforcement of the Community Reinvestment Act, and our concern about the approach proposed by the OCC in the above-referenced Federal Register notice, dated September 5, 2018, entitled “Reforming the Community Reinvestment Act Regulatory Framework.” The Community Reinvestment Act is a critical component of efforts to stop lending discrimination throughout the nation and the National Fair Housing Alliance fully supports strong and consistent implementation of the Act.
