Laying the Foundation for Improved Access to Credit for Hispanic Families
This testimony was presented before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services at a hearing titled Community and Consumer Advocates’ Perspectives on the Obama Administration’s Financial Regulatory Reform Proposals. NCLR outlines the priorities of communities of color including supporting the establishment of a single agency to promote access to credit and protecting borrowers; holding lenders accountable for being responsible to the borrower; and heightening enforcement for violating consumers’ civil rights.
