1 Reference Guide to Regulatory Compliance Fair Housing Act 42 USC Ch through 3619 Topics Coverage Requirements Enforcement Practical Application Self-Study Questions The Fair Housing Act was enacted as a part of the Civil Rights Act of When the act was passed, it prohibited discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin in all phases of the housing industry. In 1988 the act was amended to make discrimination based on the familial status or handicap of a person illegal. The federal regulatory agencies have published regulations to implement the provisions of the Fair Housing Act that are applicable to the financial services industry. These regulations primarily are recordkeeping requirements to ensure that the agencies can monitor institutions and determine whether illegal discrimination is occurring in housing lending practices. I. Coverage 42 USC Ch and 3605 A. The Fair Housing Act applies to any person or entity whose business includes engaging in real estate-related transactions, such as making or purchasing loans, or the selling, brokering, or appraising of residential real property. Therefore, all financial institutions are covered by the prohibitions against discrimination in housing-related credit B. All financial institutions are covered by the advertising requirements of the Fair Housing Act C. Recordkeeping requirements 1. State nonmember banks are governed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Fair Housing Regulation found in 12 CFR National banks are covered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) Fair Housing Home Loan Data System 12 CFR Savings associations are governed by the OCC s Nondiscrimination Requirements found in 12 CFR 128 II. Requirements A. Institutions may not discriminate in any phase of a housing-related lending transaction against persons because of their race, religion, color, national origin, sex (gender), familial status (having children under the age of 18 living at home), or handicap B. Advertising FRB Board Order on Fair Housing Advertising and Poster Requirements dated March 20, 1989; FDIC Regulation 12 CFR and 338.4; OCC 12 CFR 128.4, 128.5, and The OCC found it unnecessary to write a separate regulation for national banks. 1. Advertisement is broadly interpreted to include statement-stuffers, lobby brochures, posters, and so forth 2. The Fair Housing logo must appear in all written advertisements for real estate lending 158 American Bankers Association
2 3. All oral advertisements for real estate lending must contain a statement of nondiscrimination (for example, Equal Housing Lender ) 4. No advertising may contain any words, symbols, models or other forms of communication that express, imply, or suggest a discriminatory preference or policy of exclusion 5. The Fair Housing poster (or Equal Housing Lender poster) must be displayed in the institution s lobby where deposits are taken or loans are made. C. Other practices 1. Redlining Federal courts and regulatory agencies have determined that the Fair Housing Act prohibits the practice of redlining. Redlining occurs when a lender provides unequal access to credit, or unequal terms of credit, because of the race, color, national origin, or other prohibited characteristics of the residents of the area in which the credit seeker resides or will reside or in which the residential property to be mortgaged is located. 2. Appraisals 12 CFR 128.2a; FIL Appraisal practices may be potentially racially biased and therefore may cause equal opportunity problems for a lender a. In the cost approach to value, racial bias may be reflected in unsupported adjustments for functional and economic obsolescence. Lenders should not assume that, because a home or neighborhood is over a certain age, large adjustments are appropriate. b. In the comparable sales approach to value, racial bias may cause an appraiser to select inappropriate comparables or make inappropriate adjustments 3. Savings association underwriting standards 12 CFR 128.2a a. All savings associations must have clearly written, nondiscriminatory loan underwriting standards that are available to the public on request at each office b. All underwriting standards and business practices that implement them must be reviewed annually to ensure equal opportunity in lending 4. Savings association application requirements 12 CFR a. No savings association may discourage or refuse to allow, receive, consider, or process any application, request, or inquiry on any prohibited basis b. This rule applies to any person who i. Makes an application for a loan or other service Requests forms or papers to be used to make an application for a loan or service i Inquires about the availability of any loan or service c. Associations must inform each inquirer of his or her rights to file a written loan application and receive a copy of the association s underwriting standards 5. Racial Steering: the act of deliberately guiding loan applicants or potential purchasers toward or away from certain types of loans or geographic areas because of race.
