8/4 Immediate Gap Financing
http://www.fhlbny.com/
$250 Million for Disaster Relief Committed By the FHLBNY
July 12, 2006 New York, New York – The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York today announced a commitment to provide immediate gap financing to begin the process of rebuilding while insurance settlements are being worked out. Up to $250 million in disaster relief funds is being made available through its Community Lending Programs (CLP). Local member lenders can tap these low cost loans to meet the short, medium, and long term funding needs of communities designated as FEMA disaster areas. Several designated communities in Upstate New York and Western New Jersey have been hard hit by recent severe flooding. The $250 million CLP commitment can specifically be used for housing, small business and economic development lending.
The only banks I found in Broome County on their list of partners is Visions Credit Union located on McKinley Ave in Endicott and Partner's Trust in Binghamton.
