“This investment in the heart of Mississippi’s Fourth Congressional District will create a positive impact within our community and provide South Mississippians with affordable, stable housing options,” said Representative Ezell. “Thank you FHLB Dallas for entrusting these funds to Gulf Coast Housing Partnership (GCHP), and I look forward to seeing this project come to completion.”

FHLB Dallas awarded the AHP grant to GCHP through FHLB Dallas member Trustmark Bank.

The project implements Phase III of Village at the Beverly III and will include a clubhouse, business center, fitness center, walking/jogging path, playground, sports court and gazebo as amenities for residents.

“We are thankful for Congressman Ezell’s support for affordable housing initiatives and believe this grant will make a positive impact on the residents of Hattiesburg,” said Bre Chapman, executive vice president, chief ESG and administrative officer at FHLB Dallas.

AHP grants assist FHLB Dallas members in financing the purchase, construction and rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental or transitional housing and housing for homeless individuals. The funds must be used to benefit households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the area’s median income.

In 2023, FHLB Dallas awarded $28.4 million in AHP grants to 43 affordable housing projects to help create 2,677 new or rehabilitated housing units in its District, which includes Mississippi.

This year, $99.4 million has been allocated for AHP and Homeownership set-aside grants, which also help first-time homebuyers, special-needs households and homeowners impacted by disasters. Learn more at fhlb.com/ahp.
