The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (Bank) has added $250,000 to the Disaster Rebuilding Assistance fund in response to members’ requests as the fund was recently depleted due to high demand from the 2020 hurricane season.

The additional funds will be made available beginning August 2.

Disaster Rebuilding Assistance subsidies are available to affected residents in the Bank’s member communities. The communities must be declared disaster areas eligible for individual assistance by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in order to qualify.

Individuals may apply for the funds through the Bank’s member financial institutions.
