Why Workforce Housing Matters
Housing is economic development. When workers can find quality housing near their jobs, employers are better positioned to recruit and retain employees, communities are better able to grow, and local investment has a stronger long-term impact. Rural Workforce Housing Funds help close gaps in the housing market by supporting projects that may not move forward through traditional financing alone. YCDC facilitated an updated County-wide Housing Study 2021. UNL Students completed a City of York Housing Study in December 2023.
Housing Programs and Developer Resources
YCDC supports housing development throughout York County by helping connect developers, communities, employers, and funding partners. One of the tools available is the Rural Workforce Housing Revolving Loan Fund, which provides low-interest financing for eligible projects that create or preserve workforce housing. In addition to the Rural Workforce Housing Revolving Loan Fund, housing projects may qualify for Tax Increment Financing or, in participating communities, Micro-TIF. Program availability and eligibility vary by project location.
Developers interested in new construction, housing rehabilitation, purchase-rehab-resale, upper-story housing, or other workforce housing projects should review the guidelines and application, then contact YCDC to discuss the project.
