The Project involves demolition of existing buildings and new construction. The proposed result will be 33,923 square feet of mixed-use community service facility space and residential housing.

There will be thirty-four (34) affordable Project Based Voucher housing units targeted to individuals earning less than 60% of Area Media Income (AMI), with eleven (11) efficiency apartments, sixteen (16) 1-bedroom apartments and seven (7) 2-bedroom apartments. Included in those units will be six (6) Uniform Federal Accessibility Standard (UFAS) units consisting of one (1) efficiency mobility unit, one (1) efficiency hearing/visual unit, two (2) 1-bedroom mobility units, one (1) 1-bedroom hearing/visual unit and one (1) 2-bedroom mobility unit.

The Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh will provide PBV subsidies for thirty-four (34) units for the Project. The estimated total Project cost is $18,435,242.
