You're getting confused. Bad loans are bad loans.

Those made by institutions under the CRA - banks and thrifts - you can attribute those to the CRA.

The other half of the bad loans (estimate per an article you posted on PoE) were made largely because the CRA had made a market for such securitized loans.
