Join us next Wednesday, July 15th from 6:30pm-8pm at Attack Theatre (212 45th St) for a conversation on utility work in Lawrenceville.

[Deb Gross @PGHDistrict7]

Thank you to Councilmembers Wilson and Coghill for co-sponsoring my legislation and to the residents who stood with us today. Together, we will hold these operators accountable and protect our neighborhoods from the corporate plunder of housing.

[Deb Gross @PGHDistrict7]

Today I reintroduced my legislation to address the rise of short-term rentals listed on sites such as AirBnb.

[Deb Gross @PGHDistrict7]

For too long residents have dealt with the serious harm that short-term rentals have caused in our neighborhoods by reducing the availability of long-term housing, creating nuisances, and, tragically, introducing violence into our communities.

On Nov 25th the PPS board is set to vote on the Future-Ready Plan which includes the closure of multiple schools within District 7. Fulton, Friendship Montessori, and Woolslair would all be slated for closure without a clear plan for what’s next.

Unfortunately, the inadequacies of the plan remain and if passed on Monday will leave District 7 families unable to plan their future.

Let's show up for Starbucks baristas as they prepare to do whatever it takes to get a fair union contract and an end to Starbucks years-long union busting campaign – including striking if necessary.

I’ve been proud to support Starbucks baristas organizing across Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, Starbucks continues to refuse a fair contract.

Many residents in the City of Pittsburgh don’t drive a car because of age, disability or income, but still need safe, accessible, affordable ways to get where they need to go. YOU can take the #WeekWithoutDriving pledge & call for change at https://t.co/xxFPbHFBau

[Deb Gross @PGHDistrict7]

I am proud to support Week Without Driving because it helps call attention to the challenges non-drivers face in our region so that we can address them.

This Zoning amendment will allow service providers to build and convert structures for transitional housing and require them to provide the wrap-around services that will support Pittsburgh’s most vulnerable residents.

[Deb Gross @PGHDistrict7]

“Gross said the goal of the bill was ‘expanding the amount of transitional housing that is available to people so that they're not outdoors while they're on these lengthy, multi-year waiting lists.’”

Today, after nearly 3 years of work, City Council passed finally the Interim Housing Zoning Amendments that I sponsored with Councilman Anthony Coghill.
