What Is MMCT?
Majority-Minority Census Tract (MMCT) areas have populations where minority groups make up over 50% of residents. These areas often qualify for special lending programs designed to promote homeownership and community development.
What Is CRA?
The Community Reinvestment Act requires banks to serve the credit needs of all communities, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods. Banks earn CRA credit by lending in these areas, which means more flexible programs for borrowers.
What Are CDFIs?
Community Development Financial Institutions are specialized organizations that provide affordable lending in underserved communities. They often offer below-market rates, flexible underwriting, and enhanced down payment assistance.
How Does This Help Me?
If your desired home is in an MMCT or CRA-eligible area, you may qualify for reduced rates, lower fees, enhanced DPA, flexible credit requirements, and special programs that are not available to buyers in other areas.
