Creating Neighborhoods of Choice and Opportunity

The entire Pittsburgh region benefits when more neighborhoods are healthy, sustainable, and equitable. Every family connected to better jobs greatly improves the odds of their children being healthy and educated. Every vacant property put into productive re-use stabilizes the tax base and generates more revenue for other businesses. Every home made safe and energy efficient ensures that a senior citizen saves on his or her limited budget. Every engaged resident has the capability to become the next great neighborhood leader who inspires youth to aspire to the same. When all of these concerns and scenarios are approached comprehensively through partnerships, collaborations, aligned investments and communication, the outcome is positive neighborhood change and an overall improvement in quality of life for residents. Neighborhood Allies will lead and support this new era of community development and revitalization by fostering community partnerships, connecting partners and residents to resources, and sharing the success stories of the revitalization of the Pittsburgh region.
