According to the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, low-income households and minorities are disproportionately burdened by housing costs. *Pennsylvania Housing Authority (PHFA)
Nearly all (78%) of the net growth in households between 2000 and 2017 has been among renters, who now make up nearly a third (31%) of all Pennsylvania households. *PHFA
Due to decreased availability of low-cost rental units, rent now consumes nearly 30% of the median household's income. *PHFA
The OZFund is supported by local community organizations, city council and others. The need for affordable housing has never been greater.
The team of experienced property developers, working with a knowledgeable architect, designer and construction company will create safe, affordable, sustainable living spaces.
