Families saving for homeownership have a far steeper climb than just a few years ago. Aspiring homeowners are living the harsh reality of the affordability crisis especially if they can’t get money for upfront costs from the ‘bank of mom and dad.' @CRLMike

@CRLONLINE Agency after agency charged with defending Americans from discrimination has been hollowed out or turned against their own missions. CRL stands with the Southern Poverty Law Center today and in the days ahead.

[Mike Calhoun @CRLMike]

The indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center for its heroic work to counteract dangerous hate groups is another part of the Administration’s campaign against the our civil rights protections and the organizations that defend these essential freedoms. https://t.co/kVt4w4QiNp

[Mike Calhoun @CRLMike]

.@CRLonline knows this campaign. We have seen the CFPB be systematically dismantled. The Department of Justice Civil Rights Division is being redirected against the communities it was built to protect and now attacks organizations defending and enforcing civil rights.

CRL Supports AFFORD Act - "The bill will improve CDFIs’ ability to transform relatively limited public dollars into larger pools of private capital to target small business development and critical infrastructure investment..." @CRLMike Calhoun https://t.co/2MjKgsytBI

There are $21 billion reasons to love the CFPB. That’s the amount of relief it has delivered to people cheated by predatory lenders. Congress – it is time to show working people some love and restore CFPB funding. https://t.co/TfULWCCVbA #CFPBMyValentine

Why the Senate should protect funding for the CFPB - OpEd by @CRLMike Calhoun #DefendCFPB https://t.co/k2eIDaMAWZ

The Consumer Bureau prevents banks, credit card and other companies from illegally taking money out of your pocket. Rather than hobble this watchdog agency, President Trump should let it do this vital job. @SunSentinel #DefendCFPB https://t.co/QZv700KGxn

[Mike Calhoun @CRLMike]

Consumer Bureau rules to lower the cost of overdraft fees, lessen the burden of medical debt, and track gaps in small business lending are popular and Congress should let these rules stand. #DefendCFPB #FinancialFairness https://t.co/gC85KO1b51

[Center for Responsible Lending @CRLONLINE]

New Poll Shows Two-thirds of Americans support CFPB “The Administration’s shutdown of the Consumer Bureau is wildly out of step with Americans, across the political spectrum, who want this consumer watchdog agency doing its job,” said @CRLMike. #DefendCFPB https://t.co/2o43psmWs4
