In 2004, a landmark federal law encouraging private investment in low-income communities faced serious opposition. Enterprise alerted community development professionals nationwide, sparking an enormous email campaign that helped deter efforts to weaken the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).

We worked to show how decent, affordable rental homes help adults find jobs and children succeed in school.
