    Anatomy of a Neighborhood: Homewood in the 21St Century, 2011

    ANATOMY OF A NEIGHBORHOOD: HOMEWOOD IN THE 21ST CENTURY March 2011 Project in support of the Homewood Children’s Village report: State of the Village, 2011 Program in Urban and Regional Analysis University Center for Social and Urban Research University of Pittsburgh 121 University Place Pittsburgh, PA 15260 Homewood Children’s Village University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work Center on Race and Social Problems Executive Summary The Urban and Regional Analysis program at the University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) has been engaged in a number of projects involving Pittsburgh neighborhoods, with its Pittsburgh Neighborhood and Community Information System (PNCIS) serving as a valuable resource for these projects. Homewood is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh’s East End that has experienced tremendous change since the 1940s, as suburbanization, population loss and post-industrial restructuring of the Pittsburgh region have deeply affected this community. This report summarizes collaboration between UCSUR and the Homewood Children’s Village in 2010. Information from this study will also be part of the Homewood Children’s Village State of the Village (2011).1 Some prominent changes and trends analyzed in this report include: Homewood continues to lose population. Between 2000 and 2010, Homewood’s population dropped 30.6 percent, to 6,600 residents. In Homewood South and Homewood West, residents aged 65 and over make up nearly a third of the population. The average sales price for existing residential homes in Homewood was $9,060 in 2009, one-tenth the average price for a home in the City of Pittsburgh. This 2009 price represents a substantial loss of home equity from twenty years earlier, when the average home sold for over $22,000 in current (2010) dollars.

    The One Northside Community Plan

    Strategy Guide No. 1 Sharing New Methods˙ to IMPACT Pittsburgh’s Neighborhoods innovative project report: THE ONE NORTHSIDE COMMUNITY PLAN Our mission is to support the people, organizations and partnerships committed to creating and maintaining thriving neighborhoods. We believe that Pittsburgh’s future is built upon strong neighborhoods and the good work happening on the ground. It is integral to our role as an advocate, collaborator and convener to lift up exemplary projects and share best practices in ways that advance better engagement and community-led decisions and ensure a better understanding of the processes that lead to success and positive impact on our neighborhoods. We share this story with you to inspire action and celebrate progress, and most importantly, to empower leaders and residents in other communities to actively ˙ shape the future of their neighborhoods. — Presley L. Gillespie President, Neighborhood Allies Neighborhood Strategy Guide || 1 innovative project report: From concept to consensus Upwards of 600 people braved the chill of an early December night in Pittsburgh last year to celebrate in the warmth inside Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their reason for celebration had nothing to do with the exploits of the city’s beloved professional football team. A community plan was being unveiled for improving the quality of life in the city’s Northside neighborhoods around the stadium that the voices of several thousand residents and community stakeholders had shaped. And hopes were high that improvements in infrastructure, schools, employment and lives would be more broadly and quickly realized, as they had in other city neighborhoods where resources and revitalization were attracting investment and people.

    Social Services Activist Richard Garland Brings “Juice” to a New Program That Puts Ex-Cons on the Street to Stop Brutal Violence Before Lives Are Lost

    Social services activist Richard Garland brings “juice” to a new program that puts ex-cons on the street to stop brutal violence before lives are lost. By Jim Davidson Photography by Steve Mellon Adrienne Young offers a cherished image of her son, Javon, gunned down a decade ago in the last epidemic of street violence involving youth in Pittsburgh. Young went on to found Tree of Hope, a faith-based agency that serves families and children devastated by senseless killings. 13 The story is familiar now. A dispute over turf, money, girls, pride or next to nothing is replayed again and again on the streets of Pittsburgh — streets now marked with the ferocity, the violence, the tragedy that can bring down a neighborhood when young people have guns. ❖ Adrienne Young knows about it all too well. On a night just before Christmas 10 years ago, her 18-year-old son, Javon Thompson, an artist who had just finished his first semester at Carnegie Mellon University, was visiting a friend’s apartment in East Liberty. “He was successful. He had never done anything to anyone. He was an artist and writer — he was a great child,” Young says now. That night, Benjamin Wright, a robber dressed in gang colors, burst into the apartment and icily ordered Thompson to “say his last words.” Gunshots rang out, killing Thompson and wounding two others. Wright, who later confessed that he shot Thompson and robbed him for failing to show proper respect to his Bloods street gang, is serving a life sentence. ❖ But the carnage from the violence extends well beyond the victims and the shooter.

    CITY OF PITTSBURGH NEIGHBORHOOD PROFILES CENSUS 2010 SUMMARY FILE 1 (SF1) DATA PROGRAM IN URBAN AND REGIONAL ANALYSIS UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR SOCIAL AND URBAN RESEARCH UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH JULY 2011 www.ucsur.pitt.edu About the University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) The University Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) was established in 1972 to serve as a resource for researchers and educators interested in the basic and applied social and behavioral sciences. As a hub for interdisciplinary research and collaboration, UCSUR promotes a research agenda focused on the social, economic and health issues most relevant to our society. UCSUR maintains a permanent research infrastructure available to faculty and the community with the capacity to: (1) conduct all types of survey research, including complex web surveys; (2) carry out regional econometric modeling; (3) analyze qualitative data using state‐of‐the‐art computer methods, including web‐based studies; (4) obtain, format, and analyze spatial data; (5) acquire, manage, and analyze large secondary and administrative data sets including Census data; and (6) design and carry out descriptive, evaluation, and intervention studies. UCSUR plays a critical role in the development of new research projects through consultation with faculty investigators. The long‐term goals of UCSUR fall into three broad domains: (1) provide state‐of‐the‐art research and support services for investigators interested in interdisciplinary research in the behavioral, social, and clinical sciences; (2) develop nationally recognized research programs within the Center in a few selected areas; and (3) support the teaching mission of the University through graduate student, post‐ doctoral, and junior faculty mentoring, teaching courses on research methods in the social sciences, and providing research internships to undergraduate and graduate students.

    Providers Directory A Resource Guide to the North Side of Pittsburgh, PA First Edition, 2002 with funding from The Buhl Foundation The Pittsburgh Mercy Foundation Mercy Behavioral Health with support from Contact Pittsburgh/HelpLine United Way of South Western Pennsylvania The Birmingham Foundation i Dear Directory Users, After more than a year and a half of effort by many dedicated people, this directory is finally complete! Gathering and organizing all of the information contained here was an enormous undertaking for the team that created this book. I and many others thank them for their effort and for the new resource they have created for all of us. Now, for the first time all of those who provide valuable services (from health and human service providers to churches, from community development corporations to cultural institutions) can communicate easily with each other. It is my hope that this wealth of information, and the collaborative effort it took to produce it, fosters new partnerships and relationships among those who work to create a better quality of life for so many on the North Side. My thanks to the North Side Service Providers Network, and especially Jane Miller of Mercy Behavioral Health, for having the vision, patience, and persistence to build this new resource for the community. Sincerely, Roy Lahet, Executive Director Mercy Behavioral Health August, 2002 ii USING THIS DIRECTORY The creators of the directory intended for this book to be easy and intuitive to use. It's organized into three parts: Part I: A listing of organizations by service type (see below) Part II: Complete program descriptions, organized alphabetically Part III: An alphabetical listing of all organizations 1.

    Data Brief — Assessing Community Need Within the City of Pittsburgh

    DATA BRIEF: Assessing Community Need Within the City of Pittsburgh December 2015 In 2014, the Allegheny County Department of Human Services (DHS) published two reports about assessing need within suburban communities by using the Community Need Index, a DHS-developed tool designed to address the specific needs 1 1 Suburban Poverty: Assessing and circumstances of suburban residents.
