Northern Kentucky regional leaders have established the Northern Kentucky Housing Fund, a revolving loan fund designed to boost housing development in Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties.
The fund has a minimum capitalization target of $25 million and will serve as a permanent financial resource to expand the region’s overall housing supply. The fund will be housed within and managed by The Catalytic Fund, a nonprofit community development financial institution based in Northern Kentucky.
