What would you do if you couldn’t afford your rent or pay your mortgage? If you opened the refrigerator and didn’t see much inside? Consider this: More of our neighbors and friends are in need as communities struggle to navigate an increasingly inequitable world. But instead of falling into despair, there are organizations around the region focused on tangible efforts to improve the quality of lives right in our own backyards. Whether it’s focusing on innovative solutions to the looming energy crisis brought on by climate change or working to solve widespread issues with affordable housing, leaders from across the region, backed by the support of The Pittsburgh Foundation, are working to bring more support to the people who need it the most.
