Information regarding my stance on Financial Services issues.

QUEENS, NY - Today, Congressmen Gregory Meeks (NY-05) and Ritchie Torres (NY-15) are proud to announce that the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY) can now pledge mortgage collateral using VantageScore 4.0 credit scores, which considers rental payments and other data points that are not included in traditional scoring models – expanding the number of diverse and creditworthy mortgage applicants and creating more opportunities across the region to help narrow the racial homeownership gap.
Please note: This FAQ is based on information from prior shutdowns and currently available information from agencies. The Trump administration has not been fully transparent with its shutdown plans and Trump himself has made threats to manipulate a shutdown for political gain, change agency operations significantly, and use civil servants as pawns by firing them en masse as he has been all year.
As a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, I have long fought for a financial system that is fair, resilient, and inclusive. I am committed to ensuring all Americans, especially those in historically underserved communities, can access capital, credit, investment opportunities, and financial tools to build wealth.
