Project Vision

The 7-Parcel Infill Initiative transforms underutilized urban land into vibrant, sustainable housing that serves as the foundation for neighborhood restoration. By targeting 80% Area Median Income households, we're creating opportunities for working families to build equity and stability in Pittsburgh's communities.

This project demonstrates that affordable housing doesn't require compromising on quality. Through strategic partnerships with SMI, AZA, and Howard Hanna, we're delivering homes that meet institutional standards while remaining accessible to the families who need them most.

Faith-Driven Mission

Every home built through this initiative serves a dual purpose: providing quality shelter for families and glorifying God through service to community. This spiritual foundation guides every decision from design to delivery.

Modular Construction Advantage

Our partnership with SMI (Structural Modular Innovations) enables factory-precision construction that delivers superior quality, accelerated timelines, and cost efficiency—critical advantages for affordable housing development.

Modular construction process

30-50% Faster Construction

Parallel off-site manufacturing and on-site preparation dramatically accelerates project timelines, reducing carrying costs and delivering homes to families sooner.

Superior Quality Control

Climate-controlled factory environment eliminates weather delays and enables multi-stage inspection protocols, ensuring every module meets exacting standards before leaving the facility.

Cost Efficiency

Factory efficiency, reduced labor costs, and minimized material waste create cost savings that translate directly to 80% AMI affordability without compromising quality.

Energy Efficiency

Precision assembly creates superior thermal envelopes, reducing energy consumption and lowering utility costs for homeowners—critical for long-term affordability.
