Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLBank Atlanta) is allocating $50 million through its Affordable Housing Program (AHP) General Fund to support the purchase, construction and/or rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental, or transitional housing. This $50 million represents part of FHLBank Atlanta’s total commitment of $120 million in 2026 for affordable housing and community development.

Financial institutions that are members of FHLBank Atlanta can partner with housing developers and sponsors to apply for grants up to $1.25 million per eligible project.

“The General Fund is a critical component of our overall program to expand housing supply and promote homeownership,” said FHLBank Atlanta CEO Reggie O’Shields. “Our commitment of $120 million for 2026 will bring our cumulative total contribution for the past three years to more than $300 million. This program assists both for-profit and non-profit developers and community organizations as they increase single family and multifamily affordable housing inventory.”

FHLBank Atlanta will accept General Fund applications through May 7.

“Each year, our members collaborate with developers and community partners across the Southeast to apply for and distribute these funds to meet vital housing needs,” said FHLBank Atlanta Director of Community Investment Services Tomeka Strickland. “We aim for this program to support a range of initiatives that will boost communities, from new construction to rehabilitation to adaptive reuse, as well as projects that support rental and owner-occupied housing.”
