For the first question regarding the purposes of the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), the correct responses are:

1. **to identify possible discriminatory lending patterns**
2. **to help public officials in distributing public-sector investments so as to attract private investment to areas where it is needed**
3. **to determine whether financial institutions are serving the housing needs of their communities**

The option **to report data on loans not secured by residential dwellings** is not applicable, as HMDA focuses specifically on loans secured by residential dwellings.

For the second question about the institutions that the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act applies to, the correct response is:

**banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other mortgage lending institutions**

This encompasses a broader range of financial institutions rather than limiting it to just banks or FDIC-insured institutions.
