Programs

FHLBank Pittsburgh offers programs – which deliver funding through member financial institutions – and advances initiatives that support all kinds of community and economic development efforts:

Affordable Housing Program

Each year, FHLBank Pittsburgh sets aside approximately 10 percent of its net income to fund its Affordable Housing Program (AHP).

FHLBank's AHP supports projects that provide affordable housing to individuals and families whose incomes are defined as low (51 to 80 percent of area median) or very low (50 percent and below of area median). Since 1990, FHLBank has awarded more than $125 million in subsidies — leveraging more than $2 billion in total development costs — that has resulted in more than 22,000 affordable housing units throughout the region.


Community Lending Program

Designed to help members meet their community investment goals while maintaining and enhancing their own profitability.

FHLBank Pittsburgh's Community Lending Program (CLP) offers loans to member financial institutions for community and economic development projects that create housing, improve business districts and strengthen neighborhoods.


First Front Door

Specifically designed for first-time buyers to address the funding needs of low-income homebuyers.

FHLBank Pittsburgh's First Front Door (FFD) Program was developed to address the funding needs of low-income homebuyers. Specifically designed for first-time buyers, FFD provides grant assistance — provided through member financial institutions — to be used for down payment and closing costs to households at or below 80 percent of the area median income.


Banking On Business

Designed to help eligible small businesses with start-up and expansion.

Banks are sometimes unable to lend money to small businesses — especially start-ups — that lack sufficient equity or cash flow. But with FHLBank Pittsburgh's Banking On Business (BOB) program to make these deals more bankable, financial institutions are more willing to provide loans. Delivered through member financial institutions, BOB funding helps eligible small businesses with start-up and expansion.


Blueprint Communities

An initiative to help community leaders plan for and carry out effective and comprehensive community revitalization efforts.

The community revitalization training provides the educational component necessary for communities to begin developing long-term, comprehensive community plans. Focusing on such fundamentals as leadership, capacity, goal-setting and strategic planning, the revitalization training provides the necessary base for communities to begin growth.


My Money, My Life

Giving Allegheny County's young adults a fresh start for the future.

My Money, My Life is a free, neighborhood-based way to help our young people avoid the financial traps that make it more difficult for them to buy their first home and save for the future.
