$90K Grant from FHLB Dallas and Arvest Bank to Fund Affordable Duplexes
Miller Cottages Celebrates Groundbreaking for Transitional Housing in Fort Smith, Arkansas FORT SMITH, Ark., August 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) provided a $90,000 Affordable Housing Program (AHP) grant through Arvest Bank to Community Rescue Mission to assist with the construction of six affordable duplexes, which were celebrated with a groundbreaking ceremony today. Community Rescue Mission is a nonprofit, faith-based organization that provides shelter, meals and transitional living quarters to help people without housing in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The Miller Cottages will consist of three duplexes (six units) for families on land adjacent to Community Rescue Mission's current transitional housing development, which provides 66 rooms and a central dining hall. "The AHP grant went a long way for us toward being able to complete the project and enter into it debt free," said Community Rescue Mission Director Jordan Bone. "We think it will also be a good jumping off point to provide more affordable housing in the future." Construction is scheduled to begin in August and will take about nine months to complete, he said. Families will pay rent based on their income and are expected to stay in the duplexes for about a year before transitioning into permanent housing. "We think these duplexes will go a long way in helping families who experience homelessness to become self-sufficient," Arvest Group CRA Director Virgil Miller said. "The support that Miller Cottages received from FHLB Dallas was important in reaching this milestone." AHP funds are awarded through FHLB Dallas member institutions such as Arvest Bank and assist FHLB Dallas members in financing the purchase, construction and rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental or transitional housing and housing for homeless individuals. The funds must be used to benefit households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the median income for the area. "Arvest Bank has been a long-time supporter of our AHP grant and this is a great example of how the AHP is being used to increase access to affordable housing in Arkansas," said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. In 2024, FHLB Dallas awarded $1 million in AHP General Fund grants to Arkansas-based affordable housing projects, which was part of $78.9 million awarded in its five-state District. FHLB Dallas will announce 2025 grant awardees this fall. Learn more about the FHLB Dallas Affordable Housing Program.
