2024-2025 Community Lending Data Portal Survey

The Community Lending Data Portals provide community-based organizations, government officials, lenders, and other stakeholders in Illinois, St. Louis (MO), and Indiana (IN) with access to key financial indicators. This includes Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) and Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) data summarized at various geographic levels. The portal has been crucial for stakeholders in developing policies, programs, and research focused on economic equity. It has assisted stakeholders in understanding lender activity and identifying gaps in local financial systems.

As the portal evolves, the Woodstock Institute aims to survey stakeholders to gain insights into user experience, outcomes, and potential enhancements. Your feedback is vital for the ongoing development of the Community Lending Data Portal and will aid future education and outreach efforts.
