MOREHEAD, Ky. (Oct. 24, 2022) – Stock Yards Bank & Trust has partnered with Frontier Housing, Inc. to help qualified eastern Kentucky homeowners pay for needed repairs and replacements in their homes. The new Stock Yards Bank Home Repair Grant offers forgivable mortgages to those with low-moderate income to make home repairs including replacing HVAC systems, doors, windows, roofing, siding, plumbing, flooring or gutters, in addition to other energy efficiency upgrades, accessibility improvements for aging in place and safety repairs.
