Affordable Housing Program

Affordable Housing Program (AHP) 2010 Funding

The FHLB Des Moines Affordable Housing Program addresses homeownership and rental housing needs of low- to moderate-income households in partnership with member financial institutions and local community development organizations

On May 1, 2010, FHLB Des Moines will begin accepting applications for our competitive Affordable Housing Program (AHP). The online application can be accessed from May 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010. The system will be available from 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. Central Time seven days a week.

All competitive AHP applications must be submitted through our online grant application system and received by 4:30 P.M. Central Time on June 30, 2010. To access the application, sponsors must first register with the Community Investment Department and receive support from a FHLB Des Moines member institution. The sponsor registration form will be available April 15, 2010 on the Community Investment Department's AHP webpage.

Pre-application forms, the online application, registration forms, application instructions and a training manual are listed below.
