HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

RE: RIN 3064-AC50

Dear Mr. Feldman,

As a volunteer and staff member for Habitat for Humanity, I have seen the Community Reinvestment severely decline in importance for the last several years. I have seen banks disenfranchise the poor by raising fees and cutting services that low-income people use. For instance one Florida bank I know raised its money order fee from 60 cents to 5 dollars. When I asked why they said to clear up their lobby. In other words they didn't want working or poor people in their nice lobby.

I strongly oppose the proposed rule changes to the CRA regulations. Those changes will have a negative impact on rural America and lead to the ever increasing gap between rich and poor.

Sincerely,

Jill Olen
