Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and Texas Capital Bank Award $100K Grant to Help Families Preserve Homeownership

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas), through its member Texas Capital Bank awarded a $100,000 Heirs’ Property Program grant to the Local Initiatives Support Corporation Houston (LISC Houston) in Houston, Texas, in a ceremonial check presentation today. Funds will be used to expand and preserve homeownership in Harris County and to address tangled titles through targeted remediation.

“LISC Houston is greatly appreciative of the support of FHLB Dallas and Texas Capital to advance our efforts to ensure Houston residents are able to access stable homeownership opportunities,” said LISC Houston Executive Director Laura Jaramillo.

Heirs’ property refers to property inherited without a will or legal documentation of ownership. As property is passed down, each successive generation typically results in more heirs being added to the inheritance. The absence of a deed or will can make it more complicated to obtain a clear title to land or homes as time passes.

“These funds are critical to help homeowners safeguard their family homes and create generational wealth,” said Worley Barker, community development lending officer at Texas Capital Bank.

In 2024, FHLB Dallas and 20 participating members awarded $2 million in Heirs’ Property Program grants to 33 organizations in its five-state District. The funding will help clear an estimated 560 titles and assist more than 5,670 people with training and education regarding heirs’ issues.

“The Heirs’ Property Program helps families improve the financial condition of current and future generations,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. “It gives Texas families a strong future.”
