Thank you for your leadership on this issue & working to ensure that resources go where they are needed MOST. #VoteYes on the Targeting Resources to Communities in Need Act- ensuring access to vital resources for our Latino communities with the highest poverty rates

There are far too many communities living in a cycle of poverty, overlooked by the federal programs meant to provide relief. My bill with @RepHalRogers will ensure that the communities struggling the most get access to life-changing resources.

Check out 's report on no-cost extended payment plans & their inability to help borrowers exit rollover & fee cycles. This effort is part of how the CFPB & NALCAB will continue to pressure the payday lending industry that is so detrimental to the communities NALCAB serves.

A report published today by the CFPB shows few payday loan borrowers are benefiting from no-cost extended payment plans, which are required to be offered to borrowers in the majority of states that do not prohibit payday lending. go.usa.gov/xu34F

NALCAB leadership was thrilled to be a part of this powerful group of Latino changemakers participating in the 1st stop of the @WhiteHouse Latino Economic Summit last week in SA. @SBAIsabel @JoaquinCastrotx @ProsperWestSA @AspenLatinos @UTSA @MarlaBilonick @TX_FTBLR @SAAFdn twitter.com/SBAIsabel/stat…
Did you know? Eliminating racial disparities in the amount of wealth families gain from owning a home would narrow the wealth gap by an additional 41% between Latino & white households. We applaud the #PAVEActionPlan & hope to see it create greater economic mobility for Latinos

Homeownership gives people a pathway to build wealth. But for too long, biased appraisals have obstructed that pathway for people of color. Today, we release our #PAVEActionPlan, the beginning of the end of decades-long discrimination in home appraisals. pave.hud.gov
