LIVINGSTON, TEXAS, November 21, 2025-The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) and Austin Bank have awarded a $250,000 grant to the Alabama-Coushatta Indian Housing Authority (ACIHA) to fund roof replacements for 23 homes in Livingston, Texas.

"We are incredibly grateful to FHLB Dallas and Austin Bank for their generous support and commitment to our community," said ACIHA Executive Director Jerry McKinney. "This grant directly supports our mission to enhance the quality of life for our residents by ensuring safe, sustainable and affordable housing."

The funds are part of $2.7 million that FHLB Dallas awarded through its Native American Housing Opportunities (NAHO) Fund. The fund addressed the housing needs of federally recognized tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities and benefited 11 housing organizations this year.

ACIHA previously received a NAHO Fund grant from Austin Bank in 2024 to support improvements to its managed properties.

"At Austin Bank, we believe that building a successful community starts with providing and preserving affordable housing," said Chairman of the Board Jeff Austin III. "The partnership with FHLB Dallas allows us to support Texas families in a meaningful way, ensuring they have safe, stable homes for generations to come." Mr. Austin also serves as a director on the FHLB Dallas Board.

The NAHO Fund grants may be used for a wide range of housing-related needs, including down payment and closing cost assistance, rental support, home repairs and new construction. The program also provides grants for administrative and operational expenses.

"By enabling year-over-year improvements, these grants are helping families maintain their homes for their long-term enjoyment," said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas.
