The Joint Center's research evaluates and analyzes the effects of various government programs on housing outcomes for individuals and communities. One major research effort has focused on the impact of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). With support from the Ford Foundation, the Joint Center examines home mortgage lending patterns in 180 metropolitan areas for the period 1993-1999. The Center's research examines the contributions made by the CRA in expanding access to mortgage loans by low-income people and low-income communities. Other programs examined in Joint Center publications include public housing, federally sponsored rehabilitation activity, and tax-credit incentives for low-income housing.
