Bruce Marks, NACA’s founder and chief executive officer, is an example of the radical activist-turned-non-profit executive. The character traits that were colorful and annoying in his youth have made him a slippery and dangerous adversary.

NACA (Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America) is a very aggressive ACORN wannabe and it played a role in the subprime mortgage collapse by using the Community Reinvestment Act to hound banks into lending money to people they should have known wouldn't be able to pay it back.

During the course of my exploration of non-profit housing counseling groups, the efforts of which you can read about in the September edition of HousingWire, I learned a lot about the strategies of groups like the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN), its affiliate group ACORN Housing, the National Urban League (NUL), the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America (NACA) and the National Council of La Raza (NCLR).
I also learned about where these organizations hope to place their efforts as the country continues to navigate the recession.
Many readers have written in with strong opinions about these groups. A lawyer from Idaho called ACORN a “criminal enterprise” in response to a online story about the group’s protesting efforts.
