PRT’s efforts in including more rural communities under FHFA’s fair lending oversight has started with the want and need for more transparent policy action. Federally chartered housing enterprises have only recently been held accountable by the Federal Finance Housing Agency (FHFA), their oversight having only now been codified into law. In conjunction to the growing issues within rural housing, these laws can prompt significant improvement throughout these persistently poor rural areas. Therefore, PRT’s efforts in pushing for more proper, mandatory data collection and reporting allows for persistently poor rural and underrepresented communities, such as Native communities, to redefine what equitable housing means to them and establish their rural voices within a more sustainable and just housing community.
