Advances Average $77.1 Billion in August 2012

In Brooklyn a few weeks ago, two new buildings offering affordable housing opened their doors. These two buildings – The Hegeman Residence and The Concern Heights Apartments – will provide 250 affordable homes for area residents. Both projects received funding support from our Affordable Housing Program in the amount of $2.65 million, and reflect the good work that our members do in the communities they serve each and every day.

But our Affordable Housing Program is only one of the FHLBank tools our members have at their disposal. And our members make great use of what we offer. In August, the book value of our advances averaged $77.1 billion, a slight decrease from $78.0 billion in July. That means more than $77 billion is being put to work in communities across our district by our members.

A Valuable Framework, Holding Strong

On September 14, I had the honor of speaking at the NJBankers Senior Management Conference. In my remarks, I discussed the significant role the Home Loan Banks and our nation’s community banks must play in any future housing finance system. Granted, I do not expect any substantive legislative discussion on housing until after the November elections, but words are one thing and action another. As lenders, we will continue to help our economy recover. After all, our financial crisis began when irresponsible lenders veered away from the responsible, conservative model that the community banker has always followed. We must return to this model if any recovery is to be truly sustainable.

The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York is a cooperative. Each of the 12 Home Loan Banks is owned by their members, and we exist to support our members’ needs. In any future housing finance system, the Home Loan Banks want to be positioned where our members need us to be.

And so in the coming months, our staff will reach out to you to get your opinions on what role you believe the Home Loan Banks should play in housing finance. After all, assisting you, the local lenders who support and strengthen communities across New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands is our top priority.

At the NJBankers Senior Management Conference, I read a quote from FHFA Acting Director Ed DeMarco, from a May 15 speech he gave before the National Association of Realtors. When discussing the future housing finance system, he said that any such system would "require a legal and institutional framework that brings the power of global capital markets to the benefit of the local lenders and borrowers around the country."

Each and every day for the past 80 years, the Home Loan Banks have brought the power of the global capital markets to local lenders across the country. We have done so through every market cycle, including the most recent financial crisis. The framework to which Mr. DeMarco refers is already in place. That framework is the 12 Federal Home Loan Banks and their more than 7,700 members. And it is holding strong.

Sincerely,

Alfred A. DelliBovi
President and CEO
