Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and Texas Capital Award $510K for Veterans Housing

Funds Will Repurpose Several Historical Buildings and Add New Units in Waco, Texas

WACO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A $510,000 Affordable Housing Program (AHP) grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas), through its member Texas Capital, will help fund a 34-efficiency unit affordable housing development for veterans in Waco, Texas. Congressional and state-elected leaders and local dignitaries gathered last week for a ground-breaking ceremony of the development at the Doris Miller VA Center (VA campus).

The AHP grant was awarded to Solutions for Veterans, a Georgia-based nonprofit that develops supportive housing and coordinating services for veterans at select VA medical center campuses around the U.S.

The $10 million Freedom’s Path Waco development will renovate three existing historic structures on the Waco VA campus. It will also include a new multipurpose community building with eight residential units. The development is expected to open in late 2026.

“Texas Capital is proud to be a part of this housing development for veterans with disabilities, veterans who may be homeless or at risk of becoming homeless,” said Worley Barker, director, Community Development Lending and Investments at Texas Capital. “It has been a pleasure to work with the FHLB Dallas on this grant and we look forward to partnering on other initiatives that will make a positive impact across the state.”

AHP grants assist FHLB Dallas members in financing the purchase, construction and rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental or transitional housing and housing for homeless individuals. The funds must be used to benefit households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the area median income.

“This affordable housing development is special because it will be built on an existing VA campus with healthcare and social services for veterans right outside their apartment units,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. “We are pleased to be a part of it.”

In 2023, FHLB Dallas awarded $28.4 million in AHP General Fund grants to 43 affordable housing projects. The grants will help create 2,677 new or rehabilitated housing units. In 2024, $79.4 million has been allocated for the AHP General Fund and awards will be announced this fall. Learn more about the FHLB Dallas Affordable Housing Program.
