The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas announced the reappointment of Calvin King to the FHLB Dallas Affordable Housing Advisory Council.

The council is comprised of 13 representatives from state, community and nonprofit organizations in FHLB Dallas’ five-state district, which includes Arkansas. Council members advise the FHLB Dallas board of directors on affordable housing and economic development issues.

King is the founder, president and CEO of the Arkansas Land and Farm Development Corp. in Brinkley, Arkansas. The Arkansas nonprofit works with African American farmers to introduce the production of alternative crops that enhance the economic sustainability for minority farmers, as well as affordable housing developments in low-income rural communities.

King is a MacArthur Foundation fellow and has received numerous state and national recognitions for his work with African American farmers and other small landowners with limited resources.

“Working toward affordable, sustainable housing is extremely important to me, and I am excited about our efforts to make homeownership a reality for more Americans,” King said in a statement.

King’s three-year term began Jan. 1.
