York Project

Revitalizing Downtown York with Purpose

OZFund is proud to announce our most transformative project yet — right in the heart of downtown York, Pennsylvania.

In partnership with Union Evangelical Lutheran Church, OZFund is redeveloping a central city block into a vibrant, inclusive mixed-use community where affordable housing, essential services, and faith-based missions come together. This groundbreaking project isn’t just about buildings — it’s about breathing new life into a neighborhood and giving working families and community members a place to call home.

With the Union Evangelical Lutheran Church, OZFund is reimagining the church site as a modern campus for working families, community services, and spiritual support — all located in a federally designated Opportunity Zone.

Our plan includes:

• Affordable and mixed-income housing for working families

• Dedicated space for charitable services, including:

  • The WELL Food Pantry

  • Clothing distribution center

  • Commercial kitchen

  • Multipurpose community room and stage

  • Meeting and counseling spaces

  • Church offices and administrative rooms

• Space for future services, such as a nightcare center, health clinic, or job training facility

This is more than a development — it's a long-term commitment to equity, access, and empowerment.

The Opportunity

Why York? Why Now?

Downtown York is full of history, potential, and unmet need. With families struggling to find affordable, quality housing — and local nonprofits stretched for space — our project comes at the perfect time.

By developing this site:

• We preserve the Church’s mission and legacy for decades to come

• We anchor the neighborhood with stable, high-quality housing

• We strengthen the social safety net with rent-free facilities for essential services

• We stimulate economic growth and community pride

And because we’re doing this within a federally certified Opportunity Zone, the project delivers powerful tax benefits to investors — while doing immense good for the community.

This initiative presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform a critical part of York, rooted in deep community ties and boasting a bold, inclusive vision.

Whether you're a local supporter, mission-driven partner, or impact-minded investor, we invite you to be part of something truly special. Together, we’re creating homes, hope, and opportunity — one neighborhood at a time.
