Reinvesting in Pittsburgh’s Neighborhoods

Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group (PCRG) is a coalition of community leaders working for economic justice, equitable investment practices and sufficient financial resources to revitalize communities throughout Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

Since 1988, PCRG has worked with Pittsburgh’s major lending institutions and public agencies to develop innovative reinvestment programs targeted to Pittsburgh’s low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.


National Development Council (NDC) Training is returning to Pittsburgh! Sponsorship from Citizen’s Bank, the Urban Redevelopment Authority and Pittsburgh Partnership for Neighborhood Development has made it possible for PCRG to bring NDC to Pittsburgh. Join us July 20-22009 for a course on Home Ownership Finance.  A part of the Housing Development Certification, this course closely examines the skills required to successfully develop single-family housing that is affordable for low- and moderate-income families.  This course will focus on financing affordable single family homes.  This course is intended to be introductory, with no prior knowledge of home ownership deals required.  The next course, Rental Housing Development Finance, has been scheduled for November 2-4009. Details to follow.  Contact Sarah by calling 412.391.6732 x210 or email sarah(at)pcrg(dot)org to register or to learn more!
