Am I eligible?
Together, with our neighbors and partners, we build community ownership that preserves permanent affordability and empowers individuals. We prioritize low-to-moderate income Pittsburghers, whose income is currently less than 80% of area median income (AMI) for their household size.
- Eligibility is based on your gross income, before taxes.
- Household size counts everyone who lives in the home 50% of the time or more.
- Our lenders require a credit score of 620 or higher.
- Ideally you have enough savings for down payment, closing costs, earnest money, etc. — without depleting your savings entirely.
- Assistance programs can often help fill these gaps!
What are the income limits?
These are the maximum gross annual incomes to qualify for our 2026/27 programs, by household size.
