MEMBERSHIP
Membership in PCRG is open to all community development corporations (CDCs), community-based organizations (CBOs), and related non-profit partners. Working with member organizations to advocate for increased neighborhood investment, PCRG has been successful in bringing private and public financial resources to distressed neighborhoods in Pittsburgh’s region. PCRG has a history of effectively organizing diverse groups of stakeholders around issues such as bank lending practices, financial literacy, affordable housing, foreclosure prevention, and addressing blight through the disposition policies of vacant property. Today, PCRG is expanding its vision to help its members address key issues by confronting development barriers in their neighborhoods with capacity enhancement programing.
Although all PCRG's programs intend to serve its members, these programs are especially targeted at facilitating collaboration within our membership and connecting our members to resources.
If you have any questions regarding membership, please reach out to our Director of Community Partnerships, Christy Rowing, at crowing@pcrg.org or call at 412-391-6732 Ext. 202.
