Fair Housing
What is 'predatory lending' and how does it relate to fair housing in Hawaii?
AA. Lending at market interest rates to minority borrowers; prohibited
BB. Abusive lending practices targeting vulnerable populations (often minority or elderly borrowers) with unfavorable terms; intersects with fair housing as these practices disproportionately affect protected classes✓ Correct
CC. A lending practice where lenders prey on borrowers facing foreclosure
DD. Predatory lending is not a fair housing concern; it's only a consumer protection issue
Explanation
Predatory lending involves abusive practices: excessively high fees, loan flipping, packing (adding unwanted products), steering borrowers into high-cost loans when they qualify for better terms. Fair housing implications arise because these practices often disproportionately target protected classes (race, national origin, age), constituting a form of housing discrimination. Both ECOA and the Fair Housing Act address predatory practices.
