Housing Preservation Program

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is inviting funding applications for the Housing Preservation Program (HPP), which supports projects aimed at acquiring, renovating, or operating existing subsidized or naturally occurring affordable rental housing within the City of Pittsburgh. The program's primary goal is to invest in affordable rental units that are at risk of converting to market-rate housing, thereby preserving affordable housing stock. Funding for the program comes from the American Rescue Plan, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis, allowing for continuous submission over time. Applicants must submit a complete application including the Exhibit B - Application Narrative, Exhibit C - Excel Application, and all required attachments as outlined in Exhibit D - Attachments Checklist. The solicitation, identified by number 04142023, was posted on April 14, 2023, with a response deadline extending into the distant future, emphasizing ongoing availability of funds. The program falls under NAICS code 441110 and is managed by the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pennsylvania. Further details about program terms, funding limits, approval processes, and application instructions are provided in the Housing Preservation Program Funding Application document available through the URA's portal.
