Urban League Partners to Provide Affordable Housing in Lexington
January 10, 2024
A consortium of local banks has created a $3 million revolving capital fund – initially including Central Bank, Community Trust Bank, Republic Bank & Trust, Stock Yards Bank and Traditional Bank – so multiple local affordable housing developers can create a mix of rental and homeownership opportunities. Lexington affordable housing developers collaborating on the project include the Urban League of Lexington, AU Associates, Habitat for Humanity, and Winterwood. As the project gets underway, developers will repay the fund interest-free, allowing for re-investment in future affordable housing projects. You can read more about this announcement on Commerce Lexington’s NEWS PAGE HERE or view the press conference in its entirety ON-LINE HERE. Kudos to all involved who seized the opportunity to make this possible, and I look forward to many more announcements like this in the future.
