*Passed by Congress in 1977, the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) states that “regulated financial institutions have continuing and affirmative obligations to help meet the credit needs of the local communities in which they are chartered.” The act then establishes a regulatory regime for monitoring the level of lending, investments and services in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods traditionally underserved by lending institutions. Examiners from federal agencies assess and “grade” a lending institution’s activities in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
