With the help of our Partners, we have created a Resource Guide for community members! This guide is a working list of resources available for Penn Hills residents that Partnership members will update regularly as we become aware of additional resources. This is not a comprehensive list, but we hope that it can help residents find assistance and help other service providers to familiarize themselves with offerings available.
The bolded resources are provided by Partner organizations. If you would like the Penn Hills Partnership to reach out to any organization on your behalf, please email us at:
