$850K Affordable Housing Program Grant from FHLB Dallas and Comerica Bank Helps Launch New Senior Living Community in Houston, Texas

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas), Comerica Bank and New Hope Housing (NHH) joined community leaders Tuesday to celebrate the grand opening of NHH Ennis, a new affordable housing community for seniors in Houston, Texas. The development, located in the East Downtown (EaDo) neighborhood, was made possible in part by an $850,000 FHLB Dallas Affordable Housing Program (AHP) grant awarded through FHLB Dallas member Comerica Bank.

Located in a neighborhood with easy access to healthcare, services and community resources, NHH Ennis offers 112 one- and two-bedroom apartments for seniors earning between 30 and 60 percent of the area median income (AMI).

“This development is a powerful example of what’s possible when mission-driven organizations and community-minded partners come together,” New Hope Housing President and CEO Joy Horak-Brown said. “We’re grateful for the support of our partners, including FHLB Dallas and Comerica Bank, in helping us provide affordable housing plus services and a true sense of belonging for Houston’s seniors.”

Besides a range of on-site amenities, NHH Ennis also offers residents a range of supportive social service programs, which are integrated into the rent to promote stability and well-being.

“For three decades, our bank’s commitment to affordable housing has helped the communities we serve prosper,” said Comerica Bank’s Senior Vice President and Director of Community Development Banking Beatrice Kelly. “Through our collaborative and inclusive partnership with FHLB Dallas and New Hope Housing, we continue to address the critical need for quality senior housing in Houston. Together, we are building spaces that create pathways to access and opportunity for older adults.”

AHP funds are awarded through FHLB Dallas member institutions and 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 median income for the area.

“Affordable housing is a cornerstone of strong communities, so we’re honored to help bring NHH Ennis to life,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. “The AHP grant for NHH Ennis reflects our dedication to helping seniors live with dignity in supportive communities.”

In 2025, FHLB Dallas awarded $73.5 million in AHP General Fund grants to 53 affordable housing projects in Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas. The grants will help create 3,777 new or rehabilitated housing units. Learn more about the FHLB Dallas Affordable Housing Program. The NHH Ennis development received its AHP grant in 2023.
