Hear an overview of the Research and Analytics Department at the NY Office of the Attorney General
We will discuss a lawsuit against an auto-lender that illegally took advantage of low-income people buying used cars.
We will also discuss the recent report on Racial Disparities in Homeownership. The report is not an enforcemet action but rather research meant to support advocates.

There will be time for Q&A. This session will be accessible to people with or without a technical background.
