Wealth building: Why ONE Mortgage lowered credit scores
In looking for ways to increase homeownership opportunities for people of color, MHP looked at credit scores, debt-to-income and loan-to-value requirements. All were tightened during the recession and this decreased opportunity for people of color as the economy improved. To counteract this, MHP looked at 5,000 existing loans and found there would be minimal risk in lowering credit scores for ONE Mortgage.

MHP comments on proposed CRA reform
MHP submitted formal comments today to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), which regulates most federally-chartered banks, raising concerns about proposed changes to federal Community Reinvestment Act regulations. MHP voiced strong objection to a proposed one-size-fits-all approach to CRA. Based on more than 30 years of engagement with banks around CRA lending, MHP argues that the OCC’s proposed “metric based framework” would weaken CRA and likely reduce bank lending to low and moderate income families and neighborhoods in Massachusetts.
