About this program

PCH promotes personal and community transformation through strategic housing solutions. PCH families raise their children in homes that are safe, affordable, and consistent – providing children with the best chance to be successful. By purchasing and rehabbing delapidated properties, PCH transforms blight into beauty and helps our community reach its full potential.

Almost all PCH residents have children in Stewart Center programing and many participate in the Center's wellness initiatives. Pittsburgh Community Housing is much more than a landlord, we are a partner on life's journey. All residents are in lease-purchase agreements and have access to financial support through education and mentoring.

Pittsburgh Community Housing is committed to helping families reach financial stability. Through community partners, the Center offers homeownership education and down payment assistance for residents seeking to purchase their homes.

Pittsburgh Community Housing currently has 15 homes in service, providing affordable housing for 55 residents. PCH families have an average household income of 42% of Area Median Income.
