INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (?FHLBank Indianapolis? or ?the Bank?) today announced it has awarded $34.1 million in affordable housing grants through its Affordable Housing Program (AHP). Collectively, the grants will help fund 43 housing development projects. This year?s $34.1 million funding round comes close to the single-year Bank record for affordable housing project funding, which hit $34.6 million in 2024.

This year, FHLBank Indianapolis has awarded Affordable Housing Program grants to 43 housing projects, facilitating continued development of housing units that will be classified as affordable for low- to moderate-income households.

Since 1990, FHLBank Indianapolis has offered AHP grants to help fill funding gaps for the acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of properties that provide housing affordable to individuals and households at the very low-, low-, and moderate-income levels. The Affordable Housing Program consists of one annual competitive round in which project sponsors, including non-profit organizations and developers, partner with an FHLBank Indianapolis member institution to apply for grants of up to $1 million to support the cost of development.

?FHLBank Indianapolis is proud to offer reliable sources of funding via our Affordable Housing and other community programs through meaningful partnerships with member financial institutions and community stakeholders,? said President and CEO Brendan McGrath. ?In order to help navigate challenges facing the housing industry, in 2025 our Affordable Housing Program will help fund the creation or rehabilitation of an additional 1,578 units of affordable housing.?

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.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
