OPDC is excited to offer two new home repair programs. Oakland homeowners may be eligible for financial assistance for critical home repairs through these community initiatives.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our 2018 Annual Appeal. Your support makes a huge difference in our community. We are pleased to announce that, with your help, we raised over $10,000 to invest in our community programs and School 2 Career youth program.

Are you passionate about improving safety and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists across the city? Every quarter, Bike PGH convenes a city-wide meeting for bike/ped groups to share project ideas and updates about what is going on in other neighborhoods.

Sheila Carney, a Sister of Mercy at Carlow University, was pleasantly surprised to see the familiar yellow brick exterior of her childhood home in OPDC’s 2017-18 Annual Report.  Sister Sheila came across the Community Land Trust (CLT) section of our report and immediately recognized 3159 Ellers Street – now for sale as part of the Oakland CLT.

Carlow, CMU, Chatham, and Pitt are teaming up to launch a new jobs program called the University Talent Alliance, designed for residents from Oakland, Uptown, the Hill District, and Homewood.
