Cadence Bank and FHLB Dallas Celebrate Opening of Affordable Apartments at Renewal Ranch
Banks Provided $750K Subsidy to the $3.3 Million Residential Developmentt
The new facilities will house 40 men who have advanced to the final phase of Renewal Ranch’s rehabilitation program and provide resources to overcome substance abuse issues. Built on the existing campus, the new facilities will replace the previous apartments located several miles away.
“The generosity of donors like Cadence Bank and FHLB Dallas allows us to provide vulnerable men with a high-quality rehabilitation program at no cost,” said James Loy, executive director of Renewal Ranch. “With our program, 50 percent of the men who enter Phase Two are successfully rehabilitated, and with the new buildings, we look to improve on our efforts.”
FHLB Dallas members use AHP funds to finance the purchase, construction or rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental or transitional housing based on the evolving needs of their communities.
“We would like to thank FHLB Dallas for committing to causes that deeply matter to our communities,” said Tom Nelson, community bank president for Cadence Bank. “Renewal Ranch is at the forefront of the fight against addiction, and it is reassuring to have the backing of FHLB Dallas as we lend our support.”
In 2022, FHLB Dallas awarded nearly $17.2 million in AHP subsidies to 26 projects, through members within its five-state District of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas. The 2023 awards will be announced this quarter.
“As a trusted partner of the AHP since the early ’90s, Cadence Bank has helped bring our vision of affordable housing to life by channeling funds to meet the most pressing needs of the community,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. “The new Phase Two buildings at Renewal Ranch will build on our list of shared successes.”
