2.The Congress finds as follows:
(1)It is necessary to increase homeownership
and small business ownership for low- and moderate-income borrowers and persons
of color. It also is necessary to close the wealth gap in the United States and
to increase access to insurance and securities products.
(2)The Community
Reinvestment Act of 1977 has been effective in increasing access to credit and
capital because it imposes an affirmative and continual obligation on banks and
thrifts to meet the needs of the local communities in which they are
chartered.
(3)The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 has
leveraged more than $4,000,000,000,000 in loans and investments for low- and
moderate-income communities according to the National Community Reinvestment
Coalition.
(4)Major studies,
including those conducted by the Secretary of the Treasury, the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and Harvard University, have found
that the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 increases home mortgage lending to
minority and low- and moderate-income communities and that this lending is
profitable.
(5)The Community
Reinvestment Act of 1977 has leveraged a tremendous increase in home mortgage
lending to minority and low- and moderate-income borrowers as compared to
whites and middle-income borrowers; from 1993 through 2002, home mortgage
lending has increased by 79.5 percent to Blacks, by 185.8 percent to Hispanics,
by 29.6 percent to whites, by 90.6 percent to low- and moderate-income
borrowers, and by 51.4 percent to middle-income borrowers.
(6)While the
Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 has been effective, significant wealth
disparities remain; in the fourth quarter of 2004, the white homeownership rate
was 76.2 percent while the African-American and Hispanic homeownership rates
were 49.1 percent and 48.9 percent, respectively.
(7)In 2002, the
median net worth for Hispanic and African-American households was $7,932 and
$5,988 respectively, while, in sharp contrast, the median net worth for White
households was $88,651.
(8)Research conducted
by the chief economist of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
found that after controlling for risk of loss, a 10 percentage point increase
in the number of minorities in a zip code is associated with a 2 percentage
point increase in the number of ‘FAIR plans’, which are government-sponsored
insurance plans of last resort for those who cannot obtain insurance in the
private market.
(9)In order to
increase access to credit, wealth and insurance, it is necessary to modernize
the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 to reflect shifting trends in the
financial services industry since, currently, only about 40 percent of the
assets in the financial industry reside in bank and thrifts and are covered by
the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, which is down from about 60 percent in
the early 1980s.
3.The purposes of this Act are as
follows:
(1)To enhance the
availability of financial services to citizens of all economic circumstances
and in all geographic areas.
(2)To enhance the
ability of financial institutions to meet the capital and credit needs of all
citizens and communities, including underserved communities and
populations.
(3)To
ensure that community reinvestment keeps pace with the affiliation of banks,
securities firms, and other financial service providers, as provided by the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
