Affordable Housing Program

Millions of Americans — renters, prospective homebuyers and homeowners — struggle to find or maintain affordable housing. The challenge is especially acute for low-income households and communities. Each year, FHLB Dallas returns millions of dollars — a percentage of our net income — to communities served by our members, in the form of Affordable Housing Program (AHP) grants.

These funds strengthen communities by providing funding to members for affordable housing finance that benefits households at or below 80 percent of their area median income. Whether you are transforming a historic school building to senior housing or funding new duplexes for first-time homebuyers, AHP can help.

Our Impact


Since 1990, FHLB Dallas has awarded more than $400.6 million in AHP funding for nearly 65,000 units of affordable housing. These funds are also available to help first-time homebuyers with down payments, homeowners impacted by natural disasters and special-needs homeowners who need critical repairs to their homes.
