Affordable Housing Program
Annual Subsidies for Affordable Housing
Affordable Housing Program (AHP) funds are intended to assist FHLB Dallas members in financing the purchase, construction and/or rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental or transitional housing, as well as housing for homeless individuals in their community. AHP funds must be used to benefit households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the median income for the area.
Since the AHP's inception in 1990, FHLB Dallas has awarded more than $324 million in AHP and AHP set-aside programs, such as the Homebuyer Equity Leverage Partnership (HELP), Special Needs Assistance Program (SNAP) and Disaster Rebuilding Assistance, have assisted more than 56,500 households. See below for the recipients of the 2020 AHP subsidies.

Affordable Housing Program funds can be used for:
- Acquisition
- Down payment and closing costs
- The refinance of an existing loan (provided that the equity proceeds are used for the development of AHP-eligible housing)
- Rehabilitation or construction costs
- Homebuyer education and counseling, if the household purchases an AHP-assisted unit
