Low income families in Mississippi will receive much-needed home repairs thanks to a $496,000 Affordable Housing Program (AHP) grant provided by BankPlus and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. Edward Matthews is one of 60 Holmes County, Miss. residents whose homes benefited from the AHP grant. Matthews tarred his leaky roof for eight years. “When it would rain, I'd go to the hardware store and get some tar, then in the attic, I had to guess where the leaks were in the roof. Sometimes I'd guess right," Mr. Matthews said. The situation went from bad to worse when Matthews broke his back while repairing the roof during a storm several years ago. But now, thanks to the AHP grant, the home has received an all new roof.
