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.

Watch how BancorpSouth Bank and FHLB Dallas helped 25 elderly residents with critical home repairs in the historic Marcus Bottom neighborhood in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
The Affordable Housing Program General Fund 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
