We seek to:

• Expand access to capital and credit to underserved communities, domestically and globally;
  
  
• End predatory lending practices by financial institutions;
  
  
• Encourage full compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA); and
  
  
• Minimize market volatility and instability which disproportionately impacts the least developed countries.
