We value how generous you were with your time, connections, and honesty as we sought to better understand the rich and complex neighborhood dynamics and histories. The information we learned directly from community stakeholders provided valuable context for the community plans we reviewed, and we could not have pulled together such a comprehensive review without everyone’s support. Thank you! 3 Executive Summary Figure 1. Focus Communities Commissioned by the Center for Community-Engaged Teaching and Research (CETR) at Duquesne University, this report serves as one input to CETR’s 2016-2017 strategic planning process. As a Spiritan institution, Duquesne University is committed to a practice of community engagement which prioritizes developing authentic relationships, walking with those who have been marginalized, and being open to new perspectives and approaches.

It was a bit of an awkward moment for the agency, considering that Module is col- laborating on the project with the Pitts- burgh Housing Development Corporation (PHDC), a subsidiary of the URA.
