2.     Homewnership Counseling- Meet one-on-one with a counselor if you have questions about owning a home, like how to budget for a home improvement project, or what to do when experiencing job loss or reduced pay.

3.     Residential Façade Improvement Program- The Residential Façade Improvement Program allows homeowners to receive up to $8,000 in matching grant funds, based on household income, to make modifications to front and side façades. Please note, this program is boundary specific.

4.     Small Landlord Fund- TheSmall Landlord Fund program provides funding to landlords with ten or fewer units for repairs and upgrades, with the goal to preserve existing affordable rental housing and/or to convert market rate and vacant housing to affordable housing in the City of Pittsburgh.
