Community Programs Grants

Mission-Driven Community Programs

Affordable Housing, Homeownership, and Economic Development Grants

Funds available to build desperately needed affordable housing, facilitate homeownership, or fuel economic development in underserved neighborhoods are persistently in very short supply. Our Community Program grants help close these persistent resource gaps in communities our members serve.

Our member financial institutions partner with local affordable housing developers and community development organizations to access FHLBank San Francisco’s grant funding. Together, we’re changing lives for the better and strengthening our communities.

Our members use FHLBank San Francisco Community Program grants to create or preserve quality affordable housing for lower-income families and individuals, many with special needs; facilitate equitable and sustainable homeownership for low- to moderate-income families and individuals; fuel economic development and community revitalization.

Affordable Housing Program

FHLBank San Francisco’s Affordable Housing Program (AHP) General Fund and Nevada Targeted Fund grants help to ensure that people in need – including lower-income families and individuals, the chronically unhoused, seniors, veterans, at-risk youth, people overcoming addiction, people with disabilities, and many others – can have an affordable place to call home.

WISH

Our WISH and Middle Income Downpayment Assistance first-time homebuyer programs enable families and individuals to put down roots in the neighborhood where they want to live and build wealth through homeownership.

AHEAD

With a boost from our AHEAD economic development grants , local nonprofits, agencies, and associations can get innovative jobs programs up and running or continue to provide vital social services in underserved communities.

Middle Income Downpayment Assistance

To help put sustainable homeownership within reach for more families and individuals FHLBank San Francisco renewed the Middle-Income Downpayment Assistance matching grant program with a $20 million allocation in 2024.
