What We Know About Mortgage Lending Discrimination in America
The U.S. Department of Housing and Human Development (HUD) presents the report "What We Know About Mortgage Lending Discrimination in America." The report outlines how discrimination can affect access to mortgage capital for minorities.
Mortgage Lending, Racial Discrimination, and Federal Policy
Whether or not there is discrimination in the mortgage lending market is one of the most extensively debated issues in the civil rights arena. Because many early studies were flawed and the results misinterpreted on both sides of the debate, there is little agreement as to the next essential steps in either research or enforcement. This comprehensive volume seeks to clarify the debate by including rigorous review of fair lending research, applied projects, and enforcement activities to date, as well as recommendations for research needed to resolve unanswered questions. The intent of the authors is to help the housing industry, regulators, advocates, and the research community to better understand the issue of discrimination in an important area of American life -- the right to take out a mortgage to buy a home based on one's credit worthiness, not on one's race or ethnic group.
Discrimination in Mortgage Lending
This book substitutes rigorous and systematic analysis for the undocumented claims that have characterized the debate on "redlining"--the denial of mortgage money to poorer neighborhoods. In addition, Schafer and Ladd discuss discrimination against individuals, appraisal practices, and the likelihood of default, analyze recent policy decisions, and recommend a range of new policies. The thorough documentation that supports this analysis was obtained through an examination of individual mortgage applications--denials as well as approvals--in New York and California, the only two states in which such data is available, its disclosure mandated under state law.One of the book's major findings is...
Discriminating Risk
Mortgage lenders in the US, Stuart contends, are embedded in and shape a social context that can best be understood in terms of rules, networks and the production of space. This history of lenders' risk criteria reveals that they were synthesized from rules of thumb and untested theories.
The Color of Credit
An analysis of current findings on mortgage-lending discrimination and suggestions for new procedures to improve its detection. In 2000, homeownership in the United States stood at an all-time high of 67.4 percent, but the homeownership rate was more than 50 percent higher for non-Hispanic whites than for blacks or Hispanics. Homeownership is the most common method for wealth accumulation and is viewed as critical for access to the most desirable communities and most comprehensive public services. Homeownership and mortgage lending are linked, of course, as the vast majority of home purchases are made with the help of a mortgage loan. Barriers to obtaining a mortgage represent obstacles to a...

Mortgage Lending, Racial Discrimination, and Federal Policy
Representing the outcome of a May 1993 US Housing and Urban Development Conference, this volume seeks to answer two major questions: what evidence is there of discrimination by mortgage lenders? and, if discrimination is occurring, how powerful or significant a force is it? Evidence is presented in the form of statistical research, counter-arguments from the lending industry, and transcriptions of two landmark Federal court decrees. The editors conclude that the need for consensus and further research is stronger than in previous years, and that the housing industry, regulators, advocates and researchers all must continue to work toward eliminating any vestiges of racial discrimination in lending.
