Dallas, TX (PRWEB) June 02, 2017 -- Dallas Neighborhood Homes, a nonprofit provider of home loans, working in partnership with Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity, is pleased to partner with IBERIABANK to offer Affordable Housing Loans to families in southern Dallas. The goal is to provide 100 or more loans a year over the next five years for low-income residents in specific zip codes in Dallas.
IBERIABANK, a Louisiana-based regional bank with operations in Texas and six other states, is providing up to $5 million in loans and $40 thousand in down payment assistance funds to support the expansion of the affordable mortgage program in 2017.
