FHLBank Week: 94 Years of Strengthening Communities

Published on Jul 20, 2026

In recognition of FHLBank Week, our latest episode of Banking on Connections features David Feldhaus, SVP and Director of External Affairs, in conversation with President and CEO Michael Ericson and Board Chair Michelle Gross about the enduring mission of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. 
 
Together, they explore how FHLBanks provide reliable liquidity to member financial institutions, support local lending, expand housing opportunities and help communities navigate changing economic conditions. They also reflect on the System's evolution over more than nine decades, lessons learned from recent market events and how FHLBanks are preparing to meet the future needs of members and the communities they serve.
