Crossroads Impact Corp Commends New U.S. Treasury Rules

The new rules strengthen lending standards to provide responsible finance products

DALLAS, Dec. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Crossroads Impact Corp, a holding company focused on investing in businesses that promote economic vitality and community development, welcomes the U.S. Treasury Department's new regulations for Community Development Financial Institutions.

The regulations narrow an exemption used by some mortgage lenders who offered no documentation loans as well as declared that CDFIs must consider a borrower's ability to pay back a loan.

"We are proud of our decades-long full doc mortgage product and applaud the commitment of the CDFI Fund to provide responsible lending products to minorities and low- to moderate-income communities," said Eric Donnelly, CEO of Crossroads Impact Corp. Crossroads' wholly owned subsidiary, Capital Plus Financial, is a CDFI and a certified B Corp.

"Our industry has always been a place of innovation for underserved communities. Creating alternative ways for qualified borrowers to access credit with demonstrated abilities to repay is an encouraging step that our industry is strengthening the standards for lenders, which only protects the consumers and communities we serve," added Donnelly.
