East End Housing Development Program (EEHDP

The Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh, acting for the East Liberty Transit Revitalization Investment District Revitalization Authority, is soliciting funding proposals through the East End Housing Development Program. This rolling request for proposals seeks developers to create or preserve affordable rental and for-sale housing units within the East Liberty TRID boundary. Eligible applicants include for-profit and non-profit developers who partner with community groups. The program provides gap financing and funding for development costs, with priority given to projects that can quickly bring quality affordable units to market or provide replacement housing for disabled members and families with children. Proposals are evaluated based on the development team's capacity, project readiness, cost reasonableness, funding leverage, and commitment to energy efficiency and minority and women-owned business enterprise participation. Applicants must submit a comprehensive package including a detailed application narrative, financial statements, legal organizing documents, and a specific Excel template. Project approval is managed by the Housing Committee and the ELTRIDRA Board, ensuring consistency with neighborhood plans and adherence to strict affordability income thresholds and restrictive covenants. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and should be submitted via email to the Urban Redevelopment Authority.
