We're so excited about the impact this will bring to the neighborhood! This historic $800,000 investment will bring a 69-unit affordable housing project to Homewood, spearheaded by Pennsylvania Affordable Housing Corporation (PAHC). "This project will be a significant addition to a Pittsburgh market facing a critical need for more affordable housing," said Matt Madia, Vice President of Real Estate Services at Neighborhood Allies. “Investing in real estate projects that address such critical community needs and are led by Black developers is how Neighborhood Capital promotes a more equitable community development system.” https://bit.ly/3X6BqkV
