This book informs a renewed movement for fair lending and fair
housing. Leading advocates and specialists examine strategic
initiatives to realize objectives of the federal Fair Housing Act
as well as state and local laws Well-known fair housing and fair
lending activists and organizers examine the implications of the
new wave of fair housing activism generated by Occupy Wall Street
protests and the many successes achieved in fair housing and fair
lending over the years. The book reveals the limitations of
advocacy efforts and the challenges that remain. Best directions
for future action are brought to light by staff of fair housing
organizations, fair housing attorneys, community and labor
organizers, and scholars who have researched social justice
organizing and advocacy movements. The book is written for general
interest and academic audiences. Contributors address the
foreclosure crisis, access to credit in a changing marketplace, and
the immoral hazards of big banks. They examine opportunities in
collective bargaining available to homeowners and how low-income
and minority households were denied access to historically low home
prices and interest rates. Authors question the effectiveness of
litigation to uphold the Fair Housing Act's promise of
nondiscriminatory home loans and ask how the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau is assuring fair lending. They also look at where
immigrants stand, housing as a human right, and methods for
building a movement.
