The Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago is a member-owned banking institution based in Chicago, Illinois, operating within the Federal Home Loan Bank System. It serves members across Illinois and Wisconsin, providing competitively priced funding and support for community development activities. The Bank aims to deliver a reasonable return to its member institutions while supporting community development efforts. Recent developments illustrate its collaboration with public and nonprofit partners to address housing and community needs, including a 2025 partnership with Urban Institute to address the region's housing supply challenges and a 2026 collaboration with Full Circle Communities to celebrate the Brainerd Senior Center redevelopment on Chicago's South Side. In March 2026 the Bank introduced the MPF Habitat for Humanity Program to work with Habitat for Humanity affiliates across Illinois and Wisconsin, and it also launched a redesigned Chicago website earlier in 2026 to improve access to information for members and partners.
