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

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.
