The United States Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) in 1977 with the objective of ending redlining, the decades-old practice of neighborhood discrimination by banks against African Americans and others based on race and income. The race-based rejection of loans to creditworthy residents of redlined neighborhoods delayed the American dream of homeownership and small business ownership for generations. Senator William Proxmire, the main Congressional sponsor of CRA, along with advocacy organizations, believed that segregated neighborhoods would not successfully revitalize themselves if banks continued to refuse to make loans in them. Therefore, the CRA was devised to make banks accountable for serving the needs of entire communities.
