(1/): May 6 was a powerful reminder that from #Pittsburgh to #Harrisburg, Pennsylvanians are fighting for communities where everyone can stay, work, build, & thrive.

@PennPolicy joined @PghCRG’s Summit to talk about affordability as a community development issue. 🧵

With no new investment for public transit in the 2025-2026 state budget, discussions must begin now to ensure the 2026-2027 budget meets the needs of Pennsylvania’s riders and communities.

60% of PA homes were built before 1970.
Thousands of seniors, people with disabilities, & low-income families are living in unsafe homes. Our bill to fund critical repairs passed the House & heads to the Senate. Tell your senator: support the PA Home Preservation Program.

A bipartisan, bicameral group of legislators want to create a $50 million state program to finance homeowner's repair projects. Just don't call it "Whole Home Repairs."

PCRG congratulates @CoreyOConnorpa on winning the Democratic primary for Mayor of Pittsburgh. We’re ready to work with his team to center equity and uplift all neighborhoods.

[Pgh Community Reinvestment Group @PghCRG]

This election also raised serious concerns about the influence of dark money in local politics. PCRG believes democracy works best when it’s driven by the people—not outside interests.
