A Critical Jeffersonian Mind For A Community Reinvestment Bind, Chaz Brooks
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA") primarily sought to remedy decades of government sanctioned disinvestment in so-called “redlined communities.” Through the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation and later the Federal Housing Administration, the United States of America created from whole cloth a structure that encouraged and subsidized the explosion of homeownership in white American households.
