June is National Homeownership Month, and for many prospective homebuyers, the path to homeownership remains challenging. In this episode of Banking on Connections, Angie Ashlaw, Lead Community Investment Operations Specialist, sits down with Jamie Lutton, Manager of Community Outreach and Engagement, to discuss how FHLBank Chicago's Downpayment Plus® (DPP®) programs are helping eligible households overcome down payment and closing cost barriers on the path to homeownership.
Together, they explore the housing affordability challenges facing households across Illinois and Wisconsin, including rising home prices, limited housing inventory, and increasing upfront costs. You'll also hear perspectives from FHLBank Chicago member institutions about what they're seeing in their communities and how DPP is helping more individuals and families achieve their homeownership goals.
