Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and Homewise Award $25K to Santa Fe, New Mexico, Woman to Buy First Home
BUSINESS WIRE)--The saying 'Things happen when they are supposed to' was often repeated by Ivon Moncada during her arduous multiyear journey to homeownership. That journey culminated recently with a Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) down payment assistance grant, awarded through FHLB Dallas member financial institution Homewise. "We're thankful FHLB Dallas supports housing affordability through its down payment program.' -Chris Quintana, chief lending officer with Homewise Share Ms. Moncada was awarded a $25,000 Homebuyer Equity Leverage Partnership (HELP) down payment assistance grant to buy her first home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. HELP assists income-qualified, first-time homebuyers with down payment assistance and closing costs. Up to $25,000 per homebuyer is available in Texas and New Mexico and up to $20,000 per homebuyer is available in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. FHLB Dallas allocated $17 million for HELP this year, up from $15.5 million in 2024. The final round of funding for 2025—$4.25 million—opens on August 1. Ms. Moncada moved to Santa Fe in 2009 and took financial literacy courses from Homewise. She worked on improving her credit score and began saving for a down payment from income earned through her job of caring for disabled residents in a group home. After a divorce and the inability to find a home she could afford, the mother of four with three at home considered giving up her dream. 'I got to the point that I was thinking about quitting because I thought it was never going to happen,' she said. Then last year, she learned about a neighborhood of entry-level homes to be built in Santa Fe. She qualified to buy one and recently moved in. 'Santa Fe is a challenging market for residents who have modest incomes like Ms. Moncada,' said Chris Quintana, chief lending officer with Homewise. 'Entry level homes here sell for more than $400,000. The HELP grant, our mortgage and a second mortgage —provided through Santa Fe County Affordable Housing Program—without a repayment requirement until she sells the home, made this deal work. It wasn't easy. We're thankful FHLB Dallas supports housing affordability through its down payment program.' Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas, said down payment grants for New Mexico residents were increased this year due to rising home prices in the state. 'We're happy to see Homewise and other New Mexico members using our HELP grants as a way to help hard-working New Mexicans achieve the American Dream,' he said. Ms. Moncada, meanwhile, is paying it forward by letting others know about the programs that helped her. 'I try to tell as many people as I can about these programs,' she said. 'It took a long time, but my mother always said things happen when they are supposed to. I'm very happy.'

Homewise brings all the steps to buy and own a home under one roof. Our services and products empower our customers with knowledge and financial skills, provide them with affordable homes and lending products, and support them as partners both before and after the home purchase.

AM Best Revises Outlooks to Negative for Machinery Insurance, Inc., An Assessable Mutual Insurer
BUSINESS WIRE)-- AM Best has revised the outlooks to negative from stable and affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of 'bbb' (Good) of Machinery Insurance, Inc., An Assessable Mutual Insurer (Machinery) (Jacksonville, FL). The Credit Ratings (ratings) reflect Machinery's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as its strong operating performance, very limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM). The negative outlooks reflect the deterioration in Machinery's net underwriting income and pre-tax operating income over the most recent five-year period, driven by a significant decline in premiums over most of that period. The decline in premiums was attributable to the intentional graduation of policies to larger surety writers by its agency, which was accelerated by inflationary trends, as well as increased competition by larger surety writers in the company's own small account market niche. Consequently, Machinery's operating performance metrics have fallen out of line in recent years with the median of 'strong' assessed rating units within its fidelity and surety composite. A continuation of this trend could result in a reduction of the company's 'strong' operating performance assessment. However, Machinery has continued to grow surplus organically in each of the last five years through net investment income, net underwriting income and capital gains on its equity portfolio. Despite the deterioration in operating performance, Machinery maintains a strong overall balance sheet, support by risk-adjusted capitalization at the strongest level. Machinery's business profile is assessed as 'very limited' due to its geographic and product concentration, as well as its intention to remain a tax-exempt organization under federal law, which limits its revenue to less than $600,000 annually. Machinery's ERM is considered appropriate for its risk profile, commensurate with the complexity and scale of the company. Machinery's small size allows for management to remain actively involved in all risk assessments and continuing to develop its risk appetite through strict underwriting practices. This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best's website. For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see AM Best's Recent Rating Activity web page. For additional information regarding the use and limitations of Credit Rating opinions, please view Guide to Best's Credit Ratings.
