Milagro House completed the sale of property it owned at 132-134 S. Prince St., Lancaster, to the Lancaster Redevelopment Fund Inc., a nonprofit supported by the Lancaster County Redevelopment Authority. The buildings were purchased by Milagro House in 2018 with the intent of moving and expanding its nonprofit operations and programming to that location.

In 2022, however, Milagro House was presented with the opportunity to partner with HDC MidAtlantic to develop a portion of the former UPMC/St. Joseph Hospital site on College Avenue. The hospital site is directly across the street from Milagro House's current location on the corner of West Chestnut Street and College Avenue. This offered Milagro House the opportunity to remain in its current location while allowing for expansion at the former hospital site.

The sale of the Prince Street properties resulted from intentional conversations between Milagro House and Lancaster Redevelopment Fund that spanned over the course of the last year. The properties were not publicly listed for sale.

The Redevelopment Fund Inc. purchased the buildings at 132-134 S. Prince St. to address the increasing needs of housing insecurity of the Lancaster community. The community hub will be utilized to create a sustainable, robust response to housing insecurity, with a focus on a broader systems approach to addressing homelessness needs.
