Twin Forks Rising CDC provides community programming and repairs and builds homes in Ward 2, an area commonly called Twin Forks Rising. It will use the PGP proceeds for contractual services, including accounting and legal expenses.

“It’s great to be here to celebrate the work of Twin Forks Rising CDC and to provide them with some greatly needed monetary support,” said Tra Alford, vice president and community development director at Citizens National Bank.

Awarded annually through FHLB Dallas’ member institutions, PGP funds help promote and strengthen relationships between community-based organizations and FHLB Dallas members. FHLB Dallas matches member contributions of $500 to $4,000 at a 3:1 ratio.

“We really admire how the PGP can bring about a partnership among multiple financial institutions,” said John Griffith, president of the Hattiesburg, Mississippi, market at Cadence Bank. “We hope this combined contribution magnifies the impact.”

“We are a small and relatively new agency, serving a multitude of needs in an underserved area,” said Ward 2 Councilwoman Deborah Delgado, founder and advisor for Twin Forks Rising CDC. “Twin Forks Rising has little to no available housing units. The majority of requests for assistance is in the area of housing as much of the existing housing stock is substandard. The funding will enable us to continue to address housing needs, and for that, we are grateful.”

In 2022, FHLB Dallas and its members provided nearly $559,000 to 38 community organizations in its five-state District of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas.

“Providing funding to our members to help small and innovative organizations that lack resources is what the PGP is all about,” said Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas.
