CHICAGO, Illinois, April 4 -- The Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, a district bank in the Federal Home Loan Bank System, issued the following news:

FHLBank Chicago Delivers $43 Million in Down Payment Assistance as Affordability Pressures Persist
As higher home prices and upfront costs continue to sideline many first-time buyers, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBank Chicago) provided $43 million in down payment assistance in 2025, helping more than 4,500 households across Illinois and Wisconsin purchase homes through its Downpayment Plus(R) (DPP(R)) programs.
The grant funding,delivered through FHLBank Chicago member institutions, helped income-eligible homebuyers cover down payment and closing costs--often cited as one of the biggest barriers to homeownership, particularly for first-time and moderate-income households.
"Demand for down payment assistance continues to grow as affordability tightens," said Katie Naftzger, SVP and Community Investment Officer at FHLBank Chicago. "By partnering with our members, we are helping households who are ready to buy to bridge that gap."
Through DPP and Downpayment Plus Advantage(R) (DPP Advantage(R)), eligible households can receive up to $10,000 in forgivable grant assistance, applied at closing. The DPP Advantage program extends the funding to homebuyers participating in nonprofit-led mortgage programs, with nonprofits partnering with an FHLBank Chicago member to secure funding.
Local Impact Across Illinois and Wisconsin
Novus Home Mortgage, a division of Ixonia Bank, based in Brookfield, Wis., helped over 160 households purchase homes in 2025 disbursing nearly $1.1 million in DPP grants, with 95 percent of recipients purchasing their first home. Since joining the program in 2015, Ixonia Bank has delivered more than $2.8 million in down payment assistance to over 400 households.
"Programs like DPP help bridge the gap for homebuyers who are financially prepared to purchase a home but need help covering upfront costs," said Eric Egenhoefer, President and CEO at Novus Home Mortgage. "Through our partnership with FHLBank Chicago, this support makes the difference between postponing a purchase and becoming a homeowner."
Citizens Equity First Credit Union (CEFCU), based in Peoria, Ill., disbursed $1 million in DPP grants in 2025, assisting more than 100 households, many of them first-time homebuyers. CEFCU has participated in the program since 2000 and has delivered more than $7.3 million in down payment assistance to more than 1,100 households.
"At CEFCU, helping members achieve homeownership is central to our mission," said Stacy Leavitt, Vice President of Mortgage Lending at CEFCU. "DPP allows us to provide meaningful support to first-time buyers and families working to build long-term financial stability."
Long-Term Program Reach
Since launching the DPP programs in 1994 through year-end 2025, FHLBank Chicago has allocated more than $330 million, to support more than 51,000 households across its district. A significant share of recipients have been first-time homebuyers.
With $31 million available in 2026, FHLBank Chicago encourages its member institutions and nonprofit partners to leverage the DPP programs to support eligible homebuyers in their communities.

As part of its yearlong commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026, the National Gallery of Art presents Dear America: Artists Explore the American Experience, an exhibitionexamining how artists have portrayed and interpreted key aspects of American culture over the last 250 years. Comprising approximately 120 works from the late 18th century to the present--including many recent acquisitions and works that have never been on view at the National Gallery before--the exhibition highlights artists' wide-ranging depictions of American experience across time and place and is framed by the themes of land, community, and freedom. Dear America: Artists Explore the American Experience will be on view in the West Building from April 11 to September 20, 2026.
Drawn primarily from the National Gallery's leading collection of American art, Dear America brings together works on paper by 95 artists. Among the objects on view are photographs by Ansel Adams, Richard Avedon, Margaret Bourke-White, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Tom Jones (Ho-Chunk Nation), Sally Mann, Timothy H. O'Sullivan, Gordon Parks, Alfred Stieglitz, James Van Der Zee, Carleton E. Watkins, and Carrie Mae Weems; drawings by Thomas Moran, Tonita Pena, Eunice Pinney, and John Wilson; artists' books by Dindga McCannon and Kara Walker; and prints by Emma Amos, Ruth Asawa, Charles Gaines, Jane Hammond, Roy Lichtenstein, Marisol, Robert Rauschenberg, Ed Ruscha, Fritz Scholder, and Juan Sanchez.
"Artists have long helped us see America not just as a place, but as a living idea shaped by many voices," said Kaywin Feldman, director of the National Gallery of Art. "Through these remarkable works from the National Gallery's collection, visitors to the nation's art museum can witness the power of art to illuminate our shared past, illustrate the experiences of our lives, and inspire our collective future."
"Showcasing exemplary prints, drawings, and photographs made in the last 250 years, this exhibition is a testament to collaboration across curatorial disciplines as well as the strength of our permanent collection," said E. Carmen Ramos, the National Gallery's chief curatorial and conservation officer. "Dear America reveals the wide range of subjects, approaches, and techniques through which America's artists have sought to interpret their own and others' experiences."
About the Exhibition
Comprising works that span the breadth of US history and geography, from the nation's founding through the present, Dear America seeks to explore how artists have considered the question of what is, has been, and could be the nature of the American experience. The exhibition is organized in three thematic sections: Land, Community, and Freedom, each highlighting artists' expansive interpretations of American culture and iconography.
The first section, Land, explores our collective understanding of America as a place and as a site of wonder and belonging, survival and memory. Works from the 19th century by Thomas Moran, Frances Flora Bond Palmer, William H. Rau, and Carleton E. Watkins capture the variety of natural geographies across the North American continent and the early stages of the expansion of railways and settlements from east to west. Examples by 20th- and 21st-century artists, such as Bernarda Bryson, Leo Limon, Richard Misrach, and Margaret Bourke-White, address the impact of the growing populace, human-built environments, and major cities that comprise America today. This section shows how artists have drawn inspiration from the grandeur of the country's mountain ranges and canyons, as well as from roadside gas stations, hydroelectric dams, and skyscrapers.
The second section, Community, begins with four large multipart works that fill an entire gallery. Dear America (2002), composed of 16 photographs by contemporary artist Tom Jones (Ho-Chunk Nation), was the inspiration for the title of the exhibition. In this suite, Jones combined scans of historical postcards with lyrics from the song "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" to incorporate Native American experiences into narratives of American history. Also featured is a set of life-size figure drawings for John Wilson's unrealized mural Young Americans (1973-1975). These drawings depict the artist's teenage children and their friends, who hung out at the Wilson home in the 1970s. Their youthful potential represented a hopeful vision of the future to the artist. Nearby is a group of some 30 portraits from a suite of 101 offset lithographs by Sedrick E. Huckaby that are based on sketches he created while he interviewed people living and working in his community. The largest multipart work in this section is Richard Avedon's The Family (1976), a series of 69 photographs. Made during the Bicentennial, they depict America's power elite--politicians, media moguls, financiers, and activists. These works and others by artists such as Charles Milton Bell, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Michael Jang, Cesar A. Martinez, and Cara Romero highlight artists' portrayals of the many types of communities that have shaped the American experience, from politicians and prominent public servants, to friends and family members, neighborhoods, and religious and cultural gatherings.
The exhibition concludes with the section Freedom, weaving histories of revolution and liberation with deeply personal snapshots of American life. The works included here serve as both witnesses to the moments they portray and catalysts to connect us to our own sense of freedom. This section explores artists' considerations of the freedoms envisioned by the founders of the United States as well as by later generations who have continually sought to protect fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution and promote greater freedom for all people. Featured are scenes from the American Revolution and Civil War, including Paul Revere's famous print depicting the Boston Massacre of 1770, an event that was prompted by escalating tensions between the American colonists and Great Britain. Also on view are historical portraits of figures like Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and George Washington, all of whom advocated for freedom, while portraits of soldiers by artists such as Maya Freelon and James Van Der Zee remind us of the cost of defending that freedom. Other photographs by Lewis Wickes Hine and Alfred Stieglitz capture the early 20th-century mass movement of people who were fleeing oppression and seeking new opportunities. And Faith Ringgold's screenprints of events from the civil rights movement that accompany Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "Letter from Birmingham City Jail" and Robert Indiana's boldly colored screenprint Liberty '76 (1974-1975), made for the occasion of the country's 200th anniversary, document and celebrate the continual pursuit of freedom that is fundamental to our democracy.

Cleaner air for Detroit as sulfur dioxide levels drop more than 57% over 15 years
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the redesignation of the Detroit area to "attainment" for sulfur dioxide emissions after air monitoring shows the region meets the national health-based standard.
"Reducing sulfur dioxide emissions protects Michigander families, and redesignatingthe area supports economic development," said EPA Regional Administrator Anne Vogel. "Paving the way for a healthy and thriving Detroit would not have been possible without EPA's strong partnership with state and industry leaders."
In 2013, EPA designated the Detroit area as "nonattainment" for the sulfur dioxide standard because readings were above the health-based limit. Since then, Michigan EGLE has worked with sources in the area to reduce levels in the air. Significant emission controls at facilities including U.S. Steel, EES Coke Battery, and Dearborn Industrial Generation resulted in a reduction of more than 57% of airborne sulfur dioxide. As a result, the area now meets EPA's clean air standards.
With this redesignation, air permitting will be faster and more predictable while strong health protections will remain in place. Existing emission controls and monitoring will continue to ensure air quality remains healthy. If monitored levels approach or exceed the health-based standard, Michigan must act quickly to address the situation.

EPA Finalizes Groundwater Cleanup Plan for Radiation Technology Inc. Superfund Site
*
Rockaway Township, N.J. \- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized a cleanup plan to address groundwater contamination at the Radiation Technology Inc. Superfund site in Rockaway Township, confirming that contamination that remains from historic rocket-engine testing is deep in fractured bedrock and is not reaching nearby homes or drinking water. The plan, informed by years of study and publicinput, relies on long-term monitoring to track continued improvement and ensure the site remains protective.
"EPA is putting a final cleanup plan in place for Radiation Technology that reflects the best science, takes into consideration community input and protects Rockaway Township," said EPA Regional Administrator Michael Martucci. "The contamination is trapped deep underground, it isn't reaching drinking water, and the groundwater is continuing to improve. We will keep monitoring the site to make sure it stays that way."
EPA's groundwater plan builds on decades of cleanup work completed across the site from 1994 through 2021. During that time, EPA removed contaminated soil and buried waste, demolished unsafe buildings, and cleared hazardous materials such as asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, and lead-based paint. These actions addressed the areas of highest concern and eliminated potential exposure pathways. With those risks resolved, groundwater is the final remaining area of focus.
The finalized plan amends the original 1994 groundwater remedy, which called for pumping and treating contaminated water. Additional studies showed that the approach would not be effective in the site's fractured bedrock. EPA's updated cleanup identifies three small areas where contaminants are embedded deep in fractured rock and cannot be adequately addressed by treatment systems. In those areas, EPA is formally recognizing that engineered treatment is not possible.
Across the entire site, EPA will continue long-term groundwater monitoring to confirm that conditions continue to improve and that the cleanup remains protective.
EPA accepted public comments on the proposed cleanup plan during a 45-day comment period from December 22, 2025, through February 5, 2026, and held a virtual public meeting on January 14, 2026, to present the proposal and answer questions from the community.
EPA's formal response to public comments, additional background and site documents will be available on the Radiation Technologies Inc. Superfund Site profile page.
