Media Advisory: FHLB Dallas and First Federal Bank of Louisiana Award $100K Grant to Project Build a Future

***10:30 a.m., Thursday, March 27, 2025, 2306 Third Street, Lake Charles, LA 70601***

LAKE CHARLES, La.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Representatives from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) and First Federal Bank of Louisiana will award a $100,000 Heirs’ Property Program grant to Project Build a Future (PBAF) in a ceremonial check presentation on Thursday, March 27. The funds, which were awarded through FHLB Dallas member First Federal Bank of Louisiana, will be used for community experts to inform and educate the community about heirship issues. PBAF will work with Southwest Louisiana Law Center to help educate residents about heirs’ property issues and resolve legal issues.

Heirs’ property refers to property inherited without a will or legal documentation of ownership. As property is passed down, each successive generation generally results in more heirs being added to the inheritance. The absence of a deed or will can make it more complicated to obtain a clear title to land or homes as time passes.

The media is encouraged to attend the check presentation, which will include representatives from the banks, PBAF and SWLA Law Center. Learn more about the FHLB Dallas Heirs’ Property Program.

10:30 a.m. CT
