SUMMARY:Curds of Wisdom - Saving the Community Reinvestment Act
DESCRIPTION:The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)\, the federal law passed by Congress in 1977 as a response to redlining\, is an important tool that we can use to help the communities we serve. CRA requires banks to meet the lending\, investment\, and banking services needs of the entire community\, including low- and moderate-income (LMI) people. \n\n\n\nWhile there is still much work to be done\, over the years\, banks working to comply with CRA regulations have made huge strides in their work to finance affordable housing\, provide home and business loans\, community development investments to affordable homes\, and financial services that meet the needs of the entire community\, especially LMI people and neighborhoods. \n\n\n\nBut in recent months\, opponents have managed to prevent needed updates to CRA. Join CRA experts Kevin Hill\, Senior Policy Advisor at the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) and Bethany Sanchez\, Senior Administrator for Fair Lending at the Metropolitan Milwaukee Fair Housing Council to learn more about how CRA can help us with our work to increase affordable housing. We can work together to not only protect it against attacks\, but strengthen this important tool for our work!

SUMMARY:Gentrification Nation: Displaced By Design
DESCRIPTION:Over the past five decades\, gentrification has fundamentally reshaped America’s urban neighborhoods\, creating complex dynamics of revitalization and displacement. Our recently released comprehensive analysis\, Displaced By Design\, reveals that gentrification\, once confined to small parts of some cities\, is on the rise across many housing markets. \n\n\n\nThe human cost is staggering.  \n\n\n\nIn gentrifying neighborhoods\, populations typically decline for two decades before gentrification begins\, followed by rapid demographic shifts. White\, Asian and Hispanic populations grow while Black populations decrease. The process often involves developer-driven changes that prioritize profit over community preservation. Several factors drive this acceleration; housing supply shortages create scarcity and rising prices\, construction costs push developers toward high-value projects\, and social preferences have shifted from suburban to urban living\, especially among young professionals seeking downtown amenities and cultural access. \n\n\n\nThe challenge lies in balancing revitalization benefits – improved infrastructure\, services and economic opportunities – with preserving affordability and cultural identity. Gentrification can bring positive changes: better schools\, increased safety\, new businesses and rising property values for homeowners. However\, these benefits disproportionately favor wealthier\, often White newcomers while displacing lower-income residents and people of color. \n\n\n\nJoin NCRC’s Research team on June 5 at 1 pm ET as they comb over the report’s key findings and discuss its implications\, as well as potential solutions. Without intentional intervention\, gentrification risks deepening inequality and erasing neighborhood cultural fabric. As urban America continues evolving\, understanding these patterns becomes crucial for policymakers\, community leaders and residents working to create inclusive neighborhoods that honor both revitalization and cultural preservation.
