He has also advanced efforts to address and eliminate algorithmic and tech bias. Under his leadership, we urge the CFPB to ensure that the Office of Fair Lending has all of the necessary tools for fair lending enforcement, continue its vigorous support of Special Purpose Credit Programs, and ensure the Qualified Mortgage Rule appropriately emphasizes fair lending compliance and recognizes the dangers of pricing discrimination within U.S. financial markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">\u201cWe look forward to working with Mr. Chopra to enforce our country\u2019s fair lending laws, eliminate the use of discriminatory technologies, and ensure everyone has access to equitable economic opportunities, particularly those who have been disproportionately impacted by unjust and discriminatory policies.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\"><em>The&nbsp;<strong>National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA)<\/strong>&nbsp;is the country\u2019s only national civil rights organization dedicated solely to eliminating all forms of housing and lending discrimination and ensuring equal opportunities for all people.
