Legal Newsline, April 12, 2021, CFPB says new rule, under assault from community groups will help smaller businesses

It raises those thresholds from a rule published five years ago, but it will interfere with the ability to make sure lenders are meeting the housing needs of their communities, says a coalition of plaintiffs led by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition.
