Community Development Lending

We offer financing for the construction, renovation and preservation of affordable housing. These loans are available to investors and developers of affordable housing in the low- and moderate-income neighborhoods where we do business.
  • Construction Financing - We provide construction and permanent financing projects that target affordable housing to those who earn 80% or less of the area median income.
  • Tax credit projects: Construction, interim, permanent, bridge financing and equity investments for development of tax credit-eligible housing.
  • Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program Subsidy - The Federal Home Loan Banks' Affordable Housing Programs (AHPs) provide developers and their non-profit/public agency partners with gap financing (in the form of direct subsidies or subsidized advances) for affordable multi-family and single-family projects.


  • Program Requirements:

    • AHP funds are awarded through two highly-competitive applications rounds during the year. A project sponsor may receive a subsidy from a Federal Home Loan Bank if the project:
    • Targets low- and very-low-income households (minimum 20% of units at or below 50% AMI; preferably 60% at 50%)
    • Is financially feasible and demonstrates a need for the AHP subsidy
    • Enhances the community
    • Includes economic-empowerment services


  • Not-for-profit lending - We provide financing for community-based not-for-profit organizations in human and social services and special needs populations, as well as houses of worship.


  • We offer the following types of financing:

    • Project finance: Finance acquisition, construction and commercial mortgages, program facilities, special needs housing and other projects.
    • Houses of worship: A program to finance improvements to sacred space of existing congregations in low- or moderate-income areas.
