Liberty National Bank is participating in the Welcome Home Program, according to Ronald L. Zimmerly, Jr., bank president and CEO.

The grant program sponsored by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati assists eligible homebuyers with down payment or closing costs when purchasing or buying a home.

It provides up to $5,000 in grant money for low to moderate income homebuyers and is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Honorably discharged veterans and active-duty military homebuyers may receive Welcome Home grants up to $7,500.

Welcome Home funds will be available March 1, 2021, and will end when the money is no longer available.

In addition to the grant money, Liberty National Bank is waiving one-half of the processing fee for approved first-time homebuyers who qualify for the grant in 2021.

For additional details contact Angela Dawn Hersh at 419-634-5015. "The funds go fast, so don’t delay," she said. Additional details of the program are in the attachment at the bottom of this story.

Liberty National Bank operates offices in Hardin, Franklin, Logan and Union counties.
