1. To request a disbursement of AHP funds, members must submit a Funding Request form indicating the amount requested and confirming that the project is still in compliance with the commitments made in the application. The form must have an authorized signature from both the member and the project sponsor. Please review the Funding Request Instructions for help with completing the funding request form.

2. All Owner Occupied projects must submit an updated Sources and Uses Statement showing current costs and current sources of funding with each funding request. Sources and Uses of funds must balance and all funding sources must be committed.

3. A current Development Budget detailing total project costs and sources of financing (including terms, rates, and amortization) must be submitted with the funding request.

4. Projects must provide evidence of subsidy delivery to show that the AHP subsidy was passed through to the project. This can be a copy of a check, wire transfer or settlement statement referencing the AHP subsidy and the project name/sponsor

5. AHP funds disbursed by the member to the sponsor or project must be secured by a deed restriction or other legally enforceable retention agreement. A fully executed agreement between the member and the project sponsor must be submitted to the FHLB Chicago with the funding request. The member is required to record the retention agreement.

It is the member's responsibility to ensure that the retention documents satisfy the requirements of the AHP regulations and that they are legally enforceable by the member against the project. The FHLB Chicago will not review the member's retention document for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of the document.

Contact the Community Investment Group for a sample retention agreement.

Note: When the homes are sold, the AHP liability for the home must be transferred to the homebuyer. The five year retention period commences with the closing on the home. The Chicago FHLB will review retention and repayment agreements for a sample of the homebuyers at project completion to verify that the retention documents were properly executed and recorded.
