WASHINGTON, July 30, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The results reported in today's preliminary unaudited second quarter 2014 combined operating highlights for the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) indicate that the 12 regional cooperatives are fulfilling their publicly mandated role to provide reliable funding and liquidity to  member institutions nationwide, according to John von Seggern, President and CEO of the Council of FHLBanks.
 
"The FHLBanks continue to work very well for local lenders of all sizes and many types who are serving the credit needs of families, farms and businesses everywhere in the U.S.," von Seggern said.
"On the housing front, FHLBanks provide their members with fair and equal access to secondary mortgage markets," added von Seggern. "And they help protect the ability of their member institutions to make mortgage loans for their own portfolios."
These quarterly results show that the system remains strong and well-capitalized, keeping it safe and sound for taxpayers, the chief executive said.
The FHLBanks receive no congressional appropriations.  During the nation's financial crisis, they did not need nor took any government bailouts. In the early stages of the crisis, the FHLBanks were a critical source of liquidity for the entire U.S. banking system.
Earlier this month, the FHLBanks disclosed the results of stress tests that were mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act and overseen by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA).
"The stress tests were based on severely adverse economic scenarios defined by the FHFA," von Seggern said. "The test results demonstrated the strength and capital adequacy of each FHLBank and the FHLBank System as a whole."
The FHLBanks raise money for approximately 7,500 member financial institutions to lend for community needs  by selling bonds to institutional investors worldwide. They funnel those funds to their members in the form of secured loans which they call "advances." FHLBank members lend those funds in their communities to support housing, jobs, and economic growth.]]>https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2014/07/17/651565/10089912/en/Photo-Release-HAVEN-Grant-Funds-Repairs-for-Disabled-New-Mexico-Army-Veteran.html?f=22&fvtc=4&fvtv=5740Photo Release -- HAVEN Grant Funds Repairs for Disabled New Mexico Army Veteran2014-07-17T18:28:11Z<![CDATA[RIO RANCHO, N.M., July 17, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In the springtime, wind brought dust and dirt through the windows of Sean Shultz's home.]]>A HAVEN grant from Kirtland Federal Credit Union and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas helped this New Mexico family replace drafty windows in their home.Sean Schultz https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2014/07/14/650594/10089298/en/SNAP-Grant-Makes-Bathroom-More-Accessible-for-Victoria-Resident.html?f=22&fvtc=4&fvtv=5740SNAP Grant Makes Bathroom More Accessible for Victoria Resident2014-07-14T21:41:46Z<![CDATA[VICTORIA, Texas, July 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When Felix Chacon went in for open heart surgery in 2012, no one expected he'd come out having suffered a stroke.]]>https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2014/07/10/650042/10088977/en/Prosperity-Bank-and-FHLB-Dallas-Assist-Elderly-Couple-With-Bathroom-Renovation.html?f=22&fvtc=4&fvtv=5740Prosperity Bank and FHLB Dallas Assist Elderly Couple With Bathroom Renovation2014-07-10T22:01:12Z<![CDATA[VICTORIA, Texas, July 10, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At age 90, Harry Schankweiler figures it's probably OK to admit he's not that spry anymore.]]>https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2014/07/08/649406/10088547/en/Photo-Release-HELP-Grant-Pays-for-Closing-Costs-for-First-Time-Homebuyer.html?f=22&fvtc=4&fvtv=5740Photo Release -- HELP Grant Pays for Closing Costs for First-Time Homebuyer2014-07-08T16:47:30Z<![CDATA[MAYFLOWER, Ark., July 8, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skipper Pennington, 55, a life-long renter, wanted to buy a house in the country before he retired.
