    Opposing Rollbacks of the CRA 

    What's at Stake in Indiana, and What YOU Can do 

    Thursday, October 1 
    1:00 - 2:30 PM ET 
    Noon - 1:30 PM CT 

    On July 31, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) released a proposal to revise Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) regulations. The proposed changes would drastically undermine both the legislative intent and future impact of the CRA, decimating the infrastructure that ensures capital reaches low- and moderate-income communities in Indiana. 


    Kevin Hill
    Senior Policy Advisor
    National Community Reinvestment Coalition

    Join Kevin Hill from the National Community Reinvestment Coalition for a deep dive on the proposed changes to the CRA, the impact they would have in Indiana, and how to stand up for community development in our state and across the country. You'll also hear from community development leaders in Indiana on what's at stake for affordable housing development, economic equity for Hoosiers, and the state's nonprofit sector as a whole. 

    This Webinar Will Cover.. 

    • Detailed explanation of the proposed changes to the CRA 

    • Discussion of impacts specific to the state of Indiana 

    • Guidance in submitting organizational comments on Regulations.gov 

    • Talking points for communicating impact to board members and elected officials

    • Referrals to state- and national- sign-on letters your organization can join 

    Comments on these proposed changes will be accepted until 11:59 PM EST on October 13. We need as many community partners as possible to speak up about the disastrous consequences CRA rollback would have for social service organizations, Hoosier communities, and our state.
