organizations in more than 50 cities held rallies, public
events, and meetings to call for greater accountability and integrity in the U.S. financial system. The purpose of these spirited actions was to highlight the damage to communities caused by the economic crisis and to underscore the importance of job creation, foreclosure prevention and community rebuilding through passage of legislation that would expand and modernize the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The Day of Action was organized by the Neighborhood Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC), a national membership organization dedicated to promoting access to basic banking services including credit and savings, to create and sustain affordable housing, job development and vibrant communities for America's working families. John Taylor, president & CEO of NCRC., said, The current crisis demonstrates that consumer protections are integrally linked with the safety and soundness of the financial system. As the government has propped up financial institutions with trillions of dollars in investments, loans and guarantees, it has not done enough to not protect working Americans from foreclosure and job loss, or to prevent this crisis from occurring again. In the era of too big to fail, the public must be too loud to be ignored. Todays actions in communities across America loudly say that enough is enough its time to restore trust and integrity to the US financial system. Below are brief summaries of several actions held across the country. In D.C., NCRC organized an event on Capitol Hill to discuss the need for a citizen's movement to bring the voice of working families to the debate over banking system reform. The keynote speaker, Simon Johnson, a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, argued that financial reform is ANHD ANHD The Reader ...of Housing and Community News...

Simon said, As banks grow bigger through deals and mergers, they increase their ability to corrupt the political process through campaign contributions and lobbyists. The more banks grow, the more money they have available to influence lawmakers to write rules in their favor and prey on ordinary Americans through predatory lending and other practices. Simon pointed to the recent success of banks in defeating legislation that would allow judges in bankruptcy cases to re-adjust homeowner mortgages at current market ratesthe cram down provisionas a particularly gross example of how major banks have lobbied against very popular legislation. In Chicago, workers of United Electrical Workers from Moline, Illinois, whose factory Quad City Die Casting is being liquidated by Wells Fargo, marched and threatened to occupy their factory, following the lead of workers who occupied and successfully reopened Republic Windows and Doors in Chicago back in December. In San Diego, the Housing Opportunities Collaborative and the San Diego Organizing Project rallied in front of the downtown federal building. Their message: banks have accepted billions of dollars in federal bailout money while failing to provide meaningful help to people who face foreclosure. Participants were not merely asking for loan modifications, however. They also called on the federal government to act quickly to create jobs so that distressed homeowners had the means to continue making their mortgage payments. Organizers of all 50+ events were also united in calling for the passage of The Community Reinvestment Modernization Act of 2009 (H.R. 1479). The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) has been one of the most important laws for building wealth and revitalizing neighborhoods since its passage in 1977. However, the financial services sector has changed dramatically in the three decades since and the law has not been altered to reflect the shifts in how banks do business and other trends in the lending industry. H.R.1479 would apply CRA to a variety of non- bank institutions, require federal regulatory agencies to hold more public hearings and meetings when banks merge, enhance accountability through data disclosure and introducing more publicly available ratings, address racial disparities in lending by requiring CRA exams to explicitly consider lending and services to minorities in addition to LMI communities, and bolster the accountability of banks to all communities, among other things. While ANHD did not participate in the Day of Action due to scheduling issues, we have reached out to members of the New York Congressional delegation requesting meetings to discuss our bank reinvestment campaign and the importance of supporting H.R. 1479. Later this summer, ANHD will release a report on the troubled future of community development lending and investment in New York City. Stay tuned for future editions of The ANHD Reader for updates on this report and our Reinvestment Campaign.

NEW PRATT CENTER DIRECTOR: ADAM FRIEDMAN The Pratt Center Advisory Board and staff announce the arrival of Adam Friedman as Director of the Pratt Center for Community Development. For more than a decade, Adam has run the New York Industrial Retention Network, which he founded with guidance from the Pratt Center.

MAKING ENERGY IMPROVEMENTS The Pratt Center for Community Development reminds us that this is a smart time to seal up buildings and take advantage of contractors' availability to make energy improvements. The following resources are available to NYC home- and multifamily building-owners to implement energy upgrades: Every one- to four-family home in NYC is eligible for financial incentives to make energy improvements. (http://prattcenter.net/single-family-energy-financing- sources.php) With additional federal stimulus funding of $394 million over two years, New York State's Weatherization Assistance Program is now the largest in the country, able to serve about 20,000 units in NYC in 2009-10 with about $3,500 per unit. WAP funding may also be combined with incentives from National Grid and NYSERDA. HUD-assisted affordable housing is eligible for up to $15,000 per unit through HUD's new Green Retrofit Program for Multifamily Housing.

NYS Supportive Housing members are continuing to battle Mayor Bloombergs proposed $1.876 million cut to case management in HIV/AIDS Service Administration (HASA) supportive housing programs. Among the New York City tenants living in supportive housing are 4,007 individuals with HIV/AIDS who are stably housed through HASA supportive housing program, Branca told the City Councils General Welfare Committee at a May 26th budget hearing. The Mayors proposed cuts, she explained, will risk the health and housing stability of thousands of New Yorkers dealing with the devastating effects of living with HIV/AIDS. The Network estimates that the $1.876 million funding reduction would result in an estimated 32% cut in on-site case management, reducing the number of case managers working with these tenants from 198 to 135. If these cuts remain, each case manger would be responsible for assisting 30 of the most challenging tenants served in supportive housing, a 50% increase compared to the current 20:1 caseload ratio, said Branca. The proposed cuts are premised on an assumption that the Citys own case managers at HASA offices make the on-site supportive housing case managers at least partially redundant. HASA case workers play an important function, including coordinating benefits for their clients, but it is the on-site case managers that maintain the health and stability of this vulnerable population, said Branca. For people living with HIV/AIDS, health crises do not only occur during office hours. Supportive housing case managers work in the residences and are available when tenants need assistance. Preliminary research by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) shows that 93% of supportive housing programs provide 24-hour access to staff. Conversely, HASA case managers are only available across the city, usually by appointment only, and only during office hours.
