The Community First® Housing Counseling Resource Program (Housing Counseling Resource Program) provides grants to housing counseling agencies in Illinois and Wisconsin to facilitate expanded service to low- and moderate-income and underrepresented homebuyers and existing homeowners. Two FHLBank Chicago housing associates, Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) and Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA), administer the Housing Counseling Resource Program on behalf of FHLBank Chicago. These beneficiary organizations received funds in 2024.
