The PAVE task force’s action plan and the Department of Justice’s recent filing of the Statement of Interest make it clear that more is required from the federal government and the appraisal industry than just words – action is required. As Secretary Fudge and Ambassador Rice noted in their remarks today, there is more work to be done. The action plan is a significant step forward in addressing appraisal bias. NCRC commits to working with the federal government and the appraisal industry to bring the Plan’s commitments into being – and to get us all to a better place, where discrimination does not stand in the way of financial security and fair treatment.
