Neighborhood Allies is a community development intermediary that re-launched in early 2014 with a renewed purpose and energy; committed to strategies that benefit low and moderate income people in transitional and deeply distressed communities and connecting them with valued, vetted resources. We are redefining our intermediary role in Pittsburgh, operating as a 21st-Century community development network manager and integrator, deploying the best practices from successful models from around the U.S. and beyond to build and support sustainable neighborhoods. We serve as a platform to rally and inspire partners, set goals, track progress, raise money and make investments, and communicate outcomes effectively. We intend to be the ally of community, philanthropic, and public entities who strive toward the same goals.

MISSION

Our mission is to support the people, organizations and partnerships committed to creating and maintaining thriving neighborhoods.

We do this by…

Creating community partnerships
Connecting distressed and transitioning communities with valued/vetted resources
Communicating and celebrating progress and success

VISION

At Neighborhood Allies, we envision a Pittsburgh with healthy neighborhoods that are thriving, resilient, and livable for all!

And when we say “for all,” we mean “for all.” Neighborhood Allies envisions a Pittsburgh that can channel the national attention received for its economic transformation in some neighborhoods–places that have seen a growth in development, new restaurants, waterfront parks, trails and cultural institutions–to build a Pittsburgh in which all of its residents live in neighborhoods that have equal access to quality education, jobs, healthcare and neighborhood amenities that provide the basis for economic and community success for the entire region. This is where the “all” comes in. We need to come together as one community, recognize that there are profound issues impacting many of our neighbors and that by working together we can have tremendous impact.
