AHEAD Program

The Access to Housing and Economic Assistance for Development (AHEAD) Program provides grants to support economic development and housing projects during the conception and early development stages.  A recoverable grant program, AHEAD funds projects that produce housing, services, or other benefits for low-to moderate-income households, result in the creation of retention of jobs in the community, or facilitate public or private infrastructure projects.
  • Only Bank members can submit applications.
  • Bank members may apply for grants for specific projects working in partnership with community-based sponsors.
  • The application process has two phases. Interested members must first submit letters of intent; following the Bank's review of the letters, selected projects are invited to submit applications.
  • If the project that receives an AHEAD award meets its goals, project sponsors will make best efforts to repay the grant to the Bank so that funds can be recycled for other projects.
