The award was recently celebrated during a ceremonial check presentation at HOFW’s offices. HOFW helps low-to moderate-income families access and maintain affordable homeownership. The organization works with clients one-on-one to provide homebuyer education and loan counseling.
“These funds make all the difference in what we do and how we serve our community,” said David O’Brien, executive director of HOFW. “We are passionate about our work because everyone deserves a chance to afford and be proud of the roof over their heads.”
Through this unique program, FHLB Dallas member institutions contribute $500 to $4,000 to a community-based organization (CBO), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which FHLB Dallas matches at a 3:1 ratio to provide a match of up to $12,000 per member. PGP grants are awarded annually through FHLB Dallas’ member institutions. The awards help promote and strengthen relationships between CBOs and FHLB Dallas members.
“Housing Opportunities of Fort Worth is making a huge difference for local homebuyers because they provide vital services to the community,” said Andrea Glispie, senior manager of community development with Charles Schwab Bank. “We are pleased to provide this funding to them through our partnership with FHLB Dallas.”
In 2022, FHLB Dallas awarded $400,000 in PGP grants, and its members provided an additional $158,985 for an impact of $558,985 in its five-state District of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas.
“We thank Charles Schwab Bank for its commitment to improving lives in the communities it serves,” said Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. “Our partnership and the matching-grant nature of the PGP has enabled us to further the important work HOFW is doing to help people.”
