PCRG

Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group (PCRG) is a coalition of community leaders working for economic justice, equitable investment practices and sufficient financial resources to revitalize communities throughout Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

Through advocacy, policy creation, tool development and community empowerment through capacity building, we strive to create a more supportive environment for community revitalization in the Pittsburgh region. Organized in 1988 to provide a coordinated response to disparities in mortgage lending in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, PCRG has since grown to become a nationally recognized leader on issues of equitable access to credit.

Through our Neighborhood Policy, Regional Policy and Banking Policy initiatives, PCRG works to:

• Eradicate blight through land recycling;

• Ensure the accessibility of capital and personal wealth in all markets;

• Stabilize neighborhoods through increased community safety initiatives;

• Prioritize investment in transit infrastructure and bring the community voice to transportation planning; and

• Establish tools, programs, and policies that encourage development in urban neighborhoods.
