Safe Neighborhoods Network Meeting - May 19th

Join us on May 19th as neighborhoods across the city gather to discuss how we can work together to address safety issues!  Share your ideas and your solutions for our city’s public safety.
We are revamping the Safe Neighborhoods Network to focus more on what our communities need and how we can work with the City of Pittsburgh to address these issues.  Our new chair of the SNN Working Group, Lauren Byrne the Executive Director of Lawrenceville United, will be in attendance to introduce herself to everyone and speak on the new initiatives SNN wants to set in place.
The discussion will last from 5:30pm to 7:30pm in the PCRG Conference Room. It will include the introduction of our new community agenda, as well as any problems that you might be having in your own neighborhood and how we can work together to address them.

Please join us as we discuss solutions to the public safety issues plaguing our city. Email Jared Hawes at programs@pcrg.org or call 412-391-6732 x210 to RSVP.

Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony - May 26th

Our neighborhood groups work tirelessly throughout the year to make their communities safe, affordable, unique, and vibrant places to live, work, and play. Once a year, we celebrate that hard work at the PCRG Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony. This year, we are excited to hold the event at the August Wilson Center for African American Culture and to have John Taylor, President and CEO of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition as our keynote speaker.
