Funding Hope

Our Community Investment programs help our members and their communities thrive. FHLB Dallas offers specialized subsidy and advance programs to assist our members in financing affordable housing and economic development in the communities they serve. 

From 1990 through 2022, more than $368 million in Affordable Housing Program (AHP) and Homeownership Set-Aside Programs have been awarded through our members to assist nearly 63,000 individuals and families with their housing needs. In addition, FHLB Dallas has provided millions in voluntary funding to programs such as its FHLB Dallas FORTIFIED Fund, which assists homeowners with grants to replace roofs with storm-resistant or “fortified’ roofs.
