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

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.'

Cameco Reports Expected Increase in Its Share of Westinghouse 2025 Adjusted EBITDA
All amounts in Canadian dollars unless specified otherwise SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, June 06, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cameco (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) reports an expected increase of approximately $170 million (US) in our 49% equity share of Westinghouse Electric Company's (Westinghouse) 2025 second quarter and annual adjusted EBITDA. The expected increase is tied to Westinghouse's participation in the construction project for two nuclear reactors at the Dukovany power plant in the Czech Republic. This expected increase will be taken into consideration in determining the 2025 distribution payable by Westinghouse to Cameco. In addition to the increase in adjusted EBITDA in 2025, we expect significant financial benefits for Westinghouse, as a subcontractor, over the term of the Dukovany construction project and related to the provision of the fuel fabrication services required for both reactors for a specified period. The outlook for Westinghouse's compound annual growth rate for adjusted EBITDA remains 6% to 10% over the next five years, excluding the impact of the expected $170 million (US) increase in its 2025 adjusted EBITDA. Cameco owns a 49% interest in Westinghouse and its partner, Brookfield Renewable Partners, owns the remaining 51%. Caution about forward-looking informationThis news release includes statements and information about our expectations for the future, which we refer to as forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is based on our current views, which can change significantly, and actual results and events may be significantly different from what we currently expect. Examples of forward-looking information in this news release include our expectations regarding: Westinghouse's participation in the Dukovany power plant construction project; an increase in Westinghouse's adjusted EBITDA; Westinghouse taking this increase into consideration in determining the 2025 distribution payable to Cameco; the financial benefits for Westinghouse, as subcontractor, over the term of the Dukovany construction project and the expected future growth in Westinghouse's compound annual growth rate for adjusted EBITDA. Material risks that could lead to different results include the risk that Westinghouse is not able to participate in the Dukovany construction project on a basis that achieves the currently expected benefits to Westinghouse for any reason, or that Cameco may not derive the expected increases in its share of Westinghouse's adjusted EBITDA, or that Westinghouse does not achieve the expected future annual growth in adjusted EBITDA. In presenting the forward-looking information, we have made material assumptions which may prove incorrect about Westinghouse's participation in the Dukovany construction project and related potential benefits to Westinghouse, and continuing growth in Westinghouse's compound annual growth rate for adjusted EBITDA. Non-IFRS MeasuresAdjusted EBITDA is a measure that does not have a standardized meaning or a consistent basis of calculation under International Financial Reporting Standards (a non-IFRS measure). Westinghouse's adjusted EBITDA is defined as its net income, adjusted for the impact of certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which are either not indicative of underlying business performance or that impact the ability to assess the operating performance of its business.
