Across Allegheny County, social service providers often name the same need: a comprehensive, accurate, and easy-to-use resource guide.
Nearly every agency maintains its own list while wishing there were a shared one. That means providers across the county spend countless hours duplicating the same work: researching programs, checking eligibility, confirming phone numbers, tracking availability, and trying to figure out what has changed.
RentHelpPGH is in a unique position to help reduce that duplication. Our team includes twenty Resource Navigators who work in depth with hundreds of households each month. Through that work, they are constantly researching, calling, confirming, and circling back with providers across Allegheny County.
In 2024, after years of relying on our internal “hive mind,” RentHelpPGH began formally coordinating this knowledge into the RentHelpPGH Resource Guide. We created a Resource Ambassador committee to ensure that the updates identified by the Hive Mind are incorporated into the guide.
We are excited to make this resource guide available to the broader Allegheny County community. The guide is reviewed and updated quarterly.
