For organizations involved in creating affordable housing, AHP is an invaluable resource, offering direct grant of up to $1,750,000 per project. The grant is interest free, and if a project remains in compliance with program requirements for specified terms, all funds are forgiven – reducing the amount of debt and other funding needed to complete a project.

NOTE: FHLB Dallas does not provide grants directly to project sponsors or to consumers. Project sponsors must work with an FHLB Dallas member financial institution to submit an application for funding. Use the link below to locate an FHLB Dallas member institution in your area.

AHP funds are awarded once a year through a competitive application process. FHLB members partner with community housing organizations or developers (i.e., project sponsors) during the application process. Each has a role in the process: the project sponsor completes the application for funding during the annual application period, and the FHLB Dallas member reviews and submits the application on the sponsor’s behalf.

Pre-Application Process – The member and project sponsor meet to discuss the project – how it will benefit the community and how it qualifies for AHP funding. The member evaluates the sponsor and the application to determine whether or not to support the application. Application Process – The project sponsor completes the application for funding during the annual application period.

The member reviews the application and, if approved, submits the application and supporting documentation on the sponsor’s behalf. Approval – FHLB Dallas scores the applications and recommends projects to receive funding. FHLB Dallas’ Board of Directors approves the applications for funding, and award letters are sent via email.

The member, project sponsor and FHLB Dallas enter into a tri-party agreement governing the terms of the AHP award. Funds Disbursement – AHP funds are disbursed as a direct grant to the member institution based on a formal funding request. The member, in turn, provides the AHP subsidy to the sponsor.

Progress Reporting – Sponsors submit annual progress reports until project completion. Monitoring – Upon completion of the construction or rehabilitation, the project is subject to initial and long-term monitoring – five years for an owner-occupied project involving down payment/closing cost assistance and 15 years for a rental project.

If the noncompliance cannot be eliminated through a modification, the requirements for collection efforts shall apply.
