Services for Real Estate Professionals

FHLBank Atlanta's Affordable Housing Program (AHP) homeowner assistance products provide down-payment, closing-cost, and rehabilitation funding to qualified homebuyers and homeowners. As a real estate professional, you can work with local FHLBank Atlanta member financial institutions to extend these funding products to prospective homebuyers in your community. The products can help you:

  • Access flexible down-payment and closing-cost funding for your customers without local government resources and with minimal paperwork

Each of the following products is targeted to households earning 80 percent or below the area median income. Individuals who would like to access funds must meet eligibility guidelines and apply for funds through an FHLBank Atlanta member financial institution.
