Forty of the units will be designated as affordable with completion set for early 2027
Excerpt: Tishman and Trek will be partnering on the development with Pittsburgh Scholar House, a nonprofit dedicated to helping single parents and their children through post-secondary education and housing support.
In conjunction with that, 13 of the two-bedroom units will be set aside for single parents who are pursuing college degrees.
“This project will have a transformational impact in the lives of PSH families,” Diamonte Walker, the CEO of Pittsburgh Scholar House and former city Urban Redevelopment Authority deputy executive director, said in a statement.
Toward that end, the apartment building’s first floor will provide supportive services for parents participating in the PSH initiatives and their children. They include library and classroom spaces and a children’s playroom.
Ms. Walker said her goal is to develop 100 units of affordable housing for PSH participants by 2028.
