The Affordable Housing ProgramThe Affordable Housing Program(AHP)(AHP)

Since 1990, the FHLBank annually sets aside approximately 10% of its net income to be awarded through the AHP

Projects provide affordable housing to individuals and families with “low” income (51-80% of area median) or “very low” (50% and below of area median)

The AHP has emerged as America’s largest private grant funder for the construction of affordable housing
