Special Needs Assistance Program (SNAP) grants from BankPlus and FHLB Dallas are helping income-qualified special needs homeowners pay for home repairs. Jenice Luckett, 60, had been living on disability after suffering an injury to her back. She didn't have enough money to repair a roof so leaky that her grandchildren would joke it was raining in the living room. A $6,000 SNAP grant from BankPlus and FHLB Dallas allowed Luckett to pay for a new roof. "I am delighted to work with FHLB Dallas each and every year," said Mark Ouellette, first vice president and director of Affordable Housing at BankPlus. "By giving members access to meaningful programs like SNAP, we are able make a significant, visible impact on the lives of our neighbors and communities."
