News & Views

HACP publishes its newsletter, News & Views, twice a year. News & Views contains updates on HACP’s development plans and activities; information about programs and services; and news about HACP residents.

From the latest issue (Spring 2025):

The Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh (HACP) is moving forward on our collective mission to offer a place to live and a path to launch for all of its residents; and we’re pleased to provide a glimpse into a few of the exciting happenings here with regard to both affordable housing development and innovative, self-sufficiency programming. 

This spring will be an exciting time for our Digital Literacy Initiatives and Resident Employment teams. We are launching a new partnership with Computer Reach to get free desktop computers to residents in need, rolling out a $270,000 devices grant from the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority to loan 90 laptop computers to residents participating in a number of programs, and the much-anticipated launch of the WiFi on Wheels (W.O.W.) CyberBus 2.0 that will provide crucial workforce development training services to our residents to help them achieve success and gain sustainable employment.

A big congratulations to our Digital Literacy Initiatives team for earning an inaugural HUD ConnectHomeUSA Trailblazer Award, which was received in Washington, D.C. in December during the ConnectHomeUSA Summit!

In other groundbreaking news, the HACP’s affordable housing footprint continues to grow throughout the city with new developments.

We recently commemorated the start of the Reed-Roberts Choice Neighborhoods Initiative in the Hill District that will consist of a 123-unit mixed-use development comprising 24 townhomes, a 46-unit family building, and a 53-unit senior high rise for residents ages 55 and older. 

We also worked closely with Beacon Communities and many community stakeholders in support of two adaptive reuse projects — First & Market located Downtown and the now complete Letsche School Apartments in the Hill District — and provided more than $6 million in Project-Based Voucher/Gap Financing funds through our development arm, Allies & Ross Management and Development Corporation. 

In 2024, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the HACP’s nonprofit Clean Slate that benefits the HACP youth, between anti-drug campaigns and an annual scholarship program with our generous partners at NEED. 

We are also excited to announce that the HACP is the recipient of a $493,000 HUD Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) renewal grant that will allow us to continue to arm our 250 program participants with the tools and skills they need to succeed. Our many ROSS programs, a gateway to our Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program, teach our participants skills to obtain financial independence, and its initiatives focus on community needs.

This critical funding will allow our clinical coordinators to continue their powerful work, and we are thankful to HUD for the award.

As we work together with our partners at the federal, state, and local levels, we can further our mission to improve residents’ quality of life by being a place to live and a path to launch for all.
