The AHP grant was awarded to SAFE, an Austin-based nonprofit that supports survivors of child abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence and sex trafficking. A ceremonial groundbreaking was held this week to commemorate the occasion.

“This development is so important for families fleeing violence who need a safe place to stay,” said Julia Spann, CEO of SAFE. “We are grateful for the support we’ve received from FHLB Dallas and Texas Capital.”

The Lancaster will provide high-quality housing paired with voluntary, wrap-around services for Austin’s most vulnerable. It’s designed with comfort and safety in mind for those who have experienced long-term trauma, violence and homelessness.

“Texas Capital is honored to play a role in this project, which will increase access to safe, supportive housing for the most vulnerable members of our Central Texas community,” said Claire Harrison, managing director and Austin market president at Texas Capital. “As we continue investing in our local community, we look forward to strengthening our relationship with SAFE to support the life-saving impact of their work for years to come.”

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 median income for the area.

“This development will provide affordable housing for some of the most vulnerable populations — those who have experienced trauma, violence and homelessness. We are pleased to help bring this project to life to benefit those who need this critical assistance,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas.

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. Learn more about the FHLB Dallas Affordable Housing Program.
