The renovation, which is underway, includes exterior and interior improvements along with amenities such as a new playground. The apartments will be available to very low-, low- and moderate-income families.

“AHP funding from The First and FHLB Dallas helped move this project forward,” said Stanford Beasley, executive director of CMHDC. “We are looking forward to presenting the new Canton Manor to the community.”

The First Community Development Officer Lauren Wilson said the extensive renovation is impressive.

“The transformation of these apartments is truly remarkable,” she said. “We are thankful for our ability to join with FHLB Dallas in helping to provide affordable housing in Canton.”

In 2022, FHLB Dallas awarded $17.2 million in Affordable Housing Program (AHP) subsidies to 26 affordable housing projects.

“We appreciate The First’s commitment to supporting affordable housing,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas.
