Fair Housing

Through workshops, conferences, investigation of civil rights complaints, systemic "testing," education and outreach, fair housing planning and "best practice" compliance initiatives, NCRC Fair Housing provides technical assistance to our members in rural, suburban and urban communities to promote economic justice and equal housing opportunity in our nation.

NCRC Fair Housing is currently focusing it's activities on increasing our members capacity to challenge discrimination, creating a anti-predatory lending member network to challenge discriminatory lending, and to build community lender partnerships that celebrate good business and access to credit.

The mission of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) is to increase fair and equal access to credit, capital, and banking services and products because discrimination is illegal, unjust, and detrimental to the economic growth and well being of our society. NCRC is a HUD Qualified Fair Housing Organization. Seeking to support long-term solutions, NCRC provides resources, knowledge and skills to build community and individual net wealth.

NCRC is at the vanguard of a growing movement in which community leaders in rural and urban areas across the nation are becoming educated about, and active in, efforts to affect the flow of capital and the provision of fair housing and fair lending services in their neighborhoods.

NCRC has worked to make fair housing prevalent in all communities, to increase the capacity of neighborhood-based organizations, and to promote community-lender partnerships. These goals have been accomplished through fair lending testing, research, client counseling, investigating predatory lending practices, pro-integration activities, education and outreach programs, and private enforcement. NCRC Fair Lending professional staff have testified on Capital Hill, served as a resource to both the private and public sector, and are invited as "experts" to speak at conferences througout the nation.
