Dr. Diamonte Walker appeared on “Intersections” with Lisa Smith on Sunday, November 3, to talk about Pittsburgh Scholar House and our Wayfinders Program. “Intersections” is a weekly community affairs program hosted and produced by Lisa Smith that highlights how people come together to come up with solutions and positive outcomes to issues of concern in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania.
“We’re putting the ‘house’ in Pittsburgh Scholar House,” said Dr. Walker. “We have a goal to bring online 100 units of affordable housing that will be made available to single-parent students. We are working on our two first catalytic projects in the Hazelwood Green and in Downtown Pittburgh, known as 120 Cecil Way, one in partnership with TREK Development Group and Tishman Speyer, and the Downtown project is in partnership with Beacon Communities LLC. And so we are actively working with single-parent students to get ready for those housing opportunities which we anticipate will be ready near the end of 2027.”
