Len provides an in-depth explanation of each definition and shares tips for maximizing community development credit.

They also discuss common misconceptions about claiming credit for community development activities outside assessment areas. Len emphasizes the importance of claiming credit for all qualified community development activities, as it can contribute to a higher performance rating under CRA regulations.
