Underwriting for Racial Justice (URJ) is a group beginning a new pilot program that seeks to redesign lending rules to advance racial justice. Participants share and learn with fellow lenders and gather concrete data to determine how to get more capital to people of color in their communities. A cohort of 20 lending institutions from across the country and varying widely in size and scope came together for the pilot launch in February 2023, hosted by Beneficial State Foundation.
