Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas Launches $10 Million Fund to Support Public Housing Authority Rental Properties with Storm-Resistant Roofs

BY Business Wire | AGENCY | 07/22/25 10:15 AM EDT

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) is pleased to announce a $10 million fund dedicated to supporting public housing authority (PHA) rental properties with storm-resistant roofs. This new initiative aims to bolster the resilience and safety of housing frequently impacted by severe weather conditions.

The new FHLB Dallas FORTIFIED Fund Rental program builds on the success of the original FHLB Dallas FORTIFIED Fund, which has provided storm-resistant roof upgrades to income-qualified homeowners across FHLB Dallas? District. FORTIFIED is a roofing system that meets the standards set by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS). These standards are designed to strengthen roofs beyond standard building codes to better withstand severe weather, including high winds, hail and heavy rain.

?With the addition of the rental component, we?re furthering our commitment to protect communities across our District by investing in storm-resistant roofing,? said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. ?By enhancing the resilience of multifamily housing against increasingly severe weather events, this program will help preserve affordable housing stock.?

The program is only open to FHLB Dallas member institutions, which may apply for funds on behalf of PHAs from Monday, July 21, 2025, through Friday, September 5, 2025, on a first-come, first-served basis. Grants up to $1 million per project will be awarded this fall.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
