Please Join us for the PCRG 14th Annual Community Development Summit, in conjunction with the Urban Land Institute - Pittsburgh District Council, This premier regional conference, offers two-days showcasing the best work building Equitable Communities by deploying affordable housing and economic development activities that highlight state-of-the-art community development techniques. Attendees will gain exposure to industry best practices and national trends, develop tactics to enhance the quality of life of those they serve, and dive deeply into sessions that discuss how communities are creating cross-sector partnerships for lasting inclusive change and build black wealth.
PCRG is a nonprofit membership organization of community development corporations (CDCs), community-based organizations (CBOs) and community service groups in Western Pennsylvania. We ensure that our region has one voice in organizing for equity in financial lending practices, land use and vacant property, transit and infrastructure. In addition to our own knowledge and capacity, PCRG utilizes our connections to members, business, government and communities to drive positive change in social policies, services, and products affecting those who live in low- and moderate-income areas and communities of color. Action-focused policy development and implementation is fundamental to advancing our mission. Public education and awareness of issues impacting those we serve, and PCRG’s related initiatives and achievements are central to our success. Our blend of technical aptitude, paired with a heritage of effectively organizing diverse community-based organizations, has become a national model and has netted long-lasting positive change throughout Western PA and beyond.
"The PCRG’s model of forming strong relationships between neighborhood groups, financial institutions, and local political leaders, has been very successful and is proof of what can be accomplished if all parties work together.”
