FHLB Dallas and Trustmark National Bank Celebrate Opening of Senior Living Facility, Helped by $850K Affordable Housing Program Grant
Seventy-Six Low-Income Apartments Built for Residents 55 and Older in Jackson, Mississippi
JACKSON, Miss., August 28, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jackson, Mississippi, has a new, $28 million affordable apartment community that serves income-restricted seniors, thanks, in part, to an $850,000 Affordable Housing Program grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) awarded through Trustmark National Bank.
Representatives from the banks were joined today by public officials to celebrate the grand opening of The Pearl.
The Pearl, jointly developed by Gulf Coast Housing Partnership (GCHP) and Pearl Street Community Development Corp., features 76 one- and two-bedroom apartments reserved for residents 55 or older. The community is designed with elements that facilitate aging in place, including a pool, fitness center, community room and an onsite health center.
“Our mission to create affordable housing and build stronger communities across the Gulf Coast is only achievable through our partnerships,” said GCHP President and CEO Kathy Laborde. “The investment from FHLB Dallas and Trustmark National Bank provided essential gap funding for the development of The Pearl, which will have a lasting positive impact on the residents of Jackson.”
AHP funds assist FHLB Dallas members in financing the purchase, construction and rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental or transitional housing and housing for homeless individuals. The funds must be used to benefit households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the area median income.
“This new senior living facility symbolizes our efforts to provide equitable access to affordable housing,” said Jaime Sisson, vice president, fair and responsible banking – senior CRA manager at Trustmark National Bank. “This facility reinforces our mission of making a positive impact through our Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) program.”
Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas, said Trustmark National Bank is a great example of how FHLB Dallas members can leverage the AHP for their community investment goals.
“The Pearl showcases how member institutions can use AHP grants to meet their community investment objectives like providing seniors with safe and affordable housing. This grant demonstrates our commitment to fostering strong communities across the Gulf Coast region.”

DALLAS – Dallas police need a name for a dangerous robber who pulled a gun on a 7-Eleven clerk and walked out with the cash register drawer.
He was caught on camera. But it’s been six months, and he’s still at large.
7-Eleven Robberies
What we know:
The robbery in question happened on Jan. 13 around 10:30 p.m. at the store at 302 North Marsalis Avenue.
A Black male who is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 170 to 180 pounds walked in and waited until no other customers were inside.
“After it’s empty, he displays a handgun and points it at the cashier,” said Det. Eduardo Lopez Villa. “I don’t know what he said. He just demanded the cash from the cash register.”
Det. Villa said the suspect took the whole cash register drawer before fleeing eastbound on foot on 8th Street.
What you can do:
The detective believes anyone who knows the suspect will be able to recognize him.
“Yes, most definitely based on the video and the screenshot. If you know him, you’ll recognize him,” he said.
Tipsters can call or text Det. Villa at 469-755-8445.
“I need his information so I can talk to him about this incident,” he said.
