Sharpsburg, KY – A partnership between the City of Sharpsburg, the Robert L. Brown Foundation, and Frontier Housing has helped a local family purchase a newly renovated, energy-efficient home.

“On behalf of the City of Sharpsburg, we are so happy to see a new homeowner in our community,” said Mayor Dorothy Clemons. “I am always excited to know that there is a family that has made their dream come true.”

“I am looking forward to help from Frontier Housing and the Robert L. Brown Foundation for any further homes,” Mayor Clemons said.

The Robert L. Brown Foundation is administered through the Blue Grass Community Foundation. It is named for lifelong Sharpsburg resident Robert L. Brown who bequeathed a gift through his estate to improve the quality of life for the residents of his hometown.

“The Robert L. Brown Foundation, which provided the initial loan to secure this home, is thrilled to have had the opportunity to partner with Frontier Housing on this project. We look forward to more partnership opportunities in the future,” said Director of the Robert L. Brown Foundation Alice Hilton.

Frontier Housing purchased the home and property at 166 Back Street and completed extensive renovations to the house. Frontier also identified a buyer, helping them access loans and grants to purchase the home. The family moved into the home earlier this month following a ribbon cutting with family, friends, and local officials.

“Quality housing is critical to healthy communities, and we were proud to partner with the City of Sharpsburg and the Robert L. Brown Foundation to restore this house and help a family purchase it and make it their home,” Frontier Housing CEO Tom Manning-Beavin said. “We look forward to working with these partners to restore more homes in Sharpsburg.”

Frontier Housing is based in Morehead and serves 22 counties.
