HACP Partners With Presbyterian SeniorCare Network in Opening of Mosaic Apartments, First Affordable Housing for LGBTQ+ Seniors in Region

The HACP is proud to invest $3.5 million and 35 PBV vouchers in the region’s first affordable housing complex aimed at supporting LGBTQ+ seniors.

Nov. 25, 2025 marked the ribbon cutting of Mosaic Apartments in Oakland, a Presbyterian SeniorCare Network and Affirmative Investments development.

The HACP joined key developers and partners at the opening celebration of the inclusive 48-unit building. Thirty-five of the 48 units have received HACP Project-Based Vouchers to increase affordability. The HACP also invested $3.5 million in Gap-Financing to the $28.5 million development.

“The development represents so much of what is great about the City of Pittsburgh and our collaborative approach to solving the affordable housing crisis while furthering inclusivity,” said Caster D. Binion, Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh.

The vibrant building is located along Forbes Avenue, and offers one- and two-bedroom apartments, community gathering spaces, and amenities that include a pet spa, covered parking, and access to public transportation.

While the supportive senior community serves the LGBTQ+ population, it is open to all income-eligible seniors, ages 62 and older.

“I love what Mosaic represents,” said David Ennis, President of Affirmative Investments, in a Presbyterian SeniorCare Network press release. “It’s another successful collaboration and, most importantly, the realization of an organic vision that came directly from the LGBTQ+ community’s need for safe, affordable housing.”

According to the press release, designs were incorporated by design firm Rothschild Doyno Collaborative, based on input from LGBTQ+ senior groups to “ensure the building reflected community values.”

“To symbolize diversity and inclusion, the building’s multi-colored exterior appears to change color as visitors move along Forbes Avenue — an effect created with triangular bump-outs painted in different hues. Art throughout the building includes murals by local artists Rosabel Rosalind and the father-son team at Pinaka Art, celebrating creativity and connection,” the release reads. “Social lounges near the elevators on each floor were also designed to encourage residents to connect and share their stories.”

Presbyterian SeniorCare Network also partnered with Persad Center, a Pittsburgh nonprofit that provides mental health and supportive services to the LGBTQ+ community.

“So many older adults face loneliness and isolation,” said Marty Healey, CEO of Persad Center, as quoted in the press release. “Mosaic Apartments offer a meaningful way to foster connection and support positive mental health.”
