Greater Killeen Housing Alliance Receives $700K for Public Housing Rehab
Home Federal Bank and FHLB Dallas Funds to Help Provide Extensive Improvements
Built in 1965, High View Place was the first racially integrated, federally funded public housing complex in Killeen, Texas. The development contains 27 buildings with single, duplex and quad-plex structures. A majority of the families residing at High View are older adults and/or disabled.
“This is an extensive renovation that will transform this historic housing development into homes that instill a sense of community for all of High View Place’s residents,” said DeAdra Tatum, president of the Killeen Housing Authority. The renovation includes sewer, plumbing, heating and air upgrades. It also will provide new appliances, cabinets and finishes in the complex’s 70 units.
“We are thrilled to be a part of bringing this historic property into the modern-day era,” said Home Federal Bank Senior Vice President K. Matthew Sawrie.
AHP funds are intended to assist FHLB Dallas members in financing the purchase, construction and/or rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental or transitional housing and housing for homeless individuals. AHP funds must be used to benefit households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the median income for the area.
For 2020, FHLB Dallas awarded $19.3 million in subsidies to 38 affordable housing projects. The funds will help create 2,749 new or rehabilitated housing units. Included in that total, is $10.2 million in subsidies for 1,475 units of housing in Texas.
Since the AHP’s inception in 1990, FHLB Dallas has awarded more than $323 million in AHP and Homeownership Set-Aside Programs and has assisted more than 57,000 households.
“Home Federal Bank is making a significant impact on the communities it serves with AHP funds, and we are pleased to be partnering with them on these worthy projects,” said Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas.
