I’m proud to announce that through a strong County-City partnership, we’ve made significant progress in addressing homelessness in downtown Pittsburgh. Working alongside Mayor Ed Gainey, our dedicated advocates, and partners from our Allegheny County Department of Human Services, our “500 in 500” initiative and expanded winter shelter capacity have led to the closure of the last encampment in the central business district. These collaborative efforts have permanently housed 278 individuals and added over 200 new shelter beds, creating a more safe, connected, and vibrant community for all. This achievement is a testament to what can be accomplished when public, private, and nonprofit sectors unite to serve our neighbors. Let’s continue working together to build an Allegheny County where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. https://lnkd.in/g9RiNDUf
