An empty building that predates World War l will be transformed into affordable housing and office space with the help of ACTION-Housing, a non-profit organization. 

This month, the John P. Robin Civic Building at 200 Ross St. sold for $4 million to ACTION-Housing. The organization plans to convert 104,920 sq. ft. into 68 affordable housing units ranging from three bedroom to one bedroom apartments. These units are intended for people making 50% to 80% of the area median income. 

Exciting news for Downtown Pittsburgh! 93 affordable apartments will be coming into the Golden Triangle. The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has approved an additional $750,000 from the Rental Gap Program in an effort to aid the conversion of unused office spaces into 93 units of affordable one bedroom apartments for senior citizens.
