Our vision is for Y Housing Resources to be the County's one-stop-shop for housing related guidance, assistance and referrals.

Dear Community Partner and Stakeholder:

I along with the YMCA of York & York County and the Y Community Development Corporation am very proud and pleased to announce a strategic affiliation and partnership between the Y Community Development Corporation (YCDC) and the Housing Alliance of York (HAY).

The YCDC has been a provider of affordable housing within the City of York for the past 15 years. The organization has over 90 affordable housing units and is anxiously awaiting the ground breaking of its fifth project in York City, the George Street Commons Project.

The Housing Alliance of York is a HUD-certified and PHFA Network Housing Counseling Agency with nearly 30 years of experience providing Housing Counseling services to York City and York County Residents. The agency has been the leading provider of rental counseling, credit and budget counseling, pre-purchase counseling and homebuyer education, post-purchase counseling and mortgage foreclosure prevention services.

In an effort to refocus the Y's mission to that of our guiding principles of Youth Development, Healthy Lifestyles and Social Responsibility, the Y of York County has been an active partner in several innovative collaborations.

YCDC and HAY have been working closely since the Spring of 2010 to align housing services and provide a stable platform for City and County residents to receive guidance and assistance on a myriad of housing related issues. In an effort to further strengthen this partnership the two agencies will merge and offer their services as one entity, Y Housing Resources. In preparation of this transition the agencies have been operating under one management team and with a merged Board of Directors since the fall of 2011.

The transition will occur on May 14, 2012. The vision is for Y Housing Resources to be the County's one-stop-shop for housing related guidance, assistance and referral. Rebranding efforts are underway and will align with the YMCA's national brand guidelines. The services offered will not change: trained and certified staff can walk clients through issues pertaining to housing affordability and referrals; personal finances; eviction proceedings; landlord tenant relations; home buying and home financing; loan product comparisons; home maintenance; mortgage servicer questions and applications for foreclosure prevention assistance.

YCDC & HAY are thrilled about the higher level of collaboration that will be realized as a part of this exciting partnership! I am delighted to provide more information; should you or your clients have any questions or concerns about this collaboration, feel free to contact me.

Regards,

Jessica Fieldhouse
