MEMBERSHIP

Membership in PCRG is open to community development corporations (CDCs), community-based organizations (CBOs), and nonprofit partners working to strengthen neighborhoods across the Pittsburgh region.

PCRG works alongside its members to advocate for increased neighborhood investment, helping direct both public and private resources to communities that need them most. Over the years, PCRG has brought together diverse stakeholders to advance solutions in areas such as equitable lending, financial literacy, affordable housing, foreclosure prevention, and strategies to address vacant and blighted properties.

Today, PCRG is building on this legacy by expanding its focus on capacity building—supporting members as they navigate development challenges, strengthen their organizations, and collaborate more effectively with one another.

All PCRG programs are designed to support members, with a strong emphasis on fostering collaboration and connecting organizations to the tools, resources, and partnerships they need to succeed.
