IT'S THE LAW- Statement 7: Prohibition Against Discrimination
State agencies should be aware that Title XI and the Agencies' regulations prohibit federally regulated financial institutions from excluding appraisers from consideration for an assignment by virtue of their membership, or lack of membership, in any appraisal organization. Federally regulated financial institutions should review the qualifications of appraisers to ensure that they are qualified for the assignment for which they are being considered. It is unacceptable to assume that an appraiser is qualified solely due to membership in, or designation from, an appraisal organization, or the lack thereof. The Agencies have determined that financial institutions' appraisal policies should not favor appraisers from one or more organizations or exclude individuals based on their lack of such membership. If a State agency learns that a certified or licensed appraiser allegedly has been a victim of such discrimination, the State agency should inform the Agency which has regulatory authority over the involved financial institution.

NeighborWorks America Announces New Initiative at Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) America
Our CEO Eileen Fitzgerald recently participated in the Clinton Global Initiative's CGI America where she announced a Commitment to Action called, "Restoring Market Demand: the Neighborhood Marketing Program." Through this program, NeighborWorks America will strengthen communities adversely affected by the foreclosure crisis by using innovative marketing strategies to attract strong new homebuyers and renters, increase private-sector investment and bolster job creation.
“Community stabilization and community growth are at the heart of what NeighborWorks America has supported for nearly 35 years,” said Fitzgerald. “We recognize how important it is for communities to be seen as great places to live and work. That’s why our commitment will help NeighborWorks organizations and their local partners in communities around the U.S. present their best attributes, retain residents, attract new sustainable homeowners and build the vibrant community that is possible.”
For more information and a list of the 16 participating network organizations and neighborhoods, visit our Stable Communities website.
