The focus of their conversations will include but not be limited to: heat island challenges in NYC, greatest heat vulnerability in these communities, methods of financing resiliency in these heat vulnerable communities, strategies to maximize social communication within these communities, strategies to maximize attention of others who can help from outside of the community.

The Agri Trade Institute Resource Center Capital Campaign is a $5 million endeavor that will provide funding for a new 10,000-square-foot resource and engagement center that will be constructed directly along the Centre Avenue economic corridor in the Hill District neighborhood of Pittsburgh, this sustainable green technology SMART building will give our organization the capacity to contribute to the economic revitalization of an up and coming area, provide housing to homeless veterans, hold educational seminars and provide confidential veteran consultation. Additionally, the new resource center will include community engagement operations that will serve as a pick up/drop off site for food and help us bring people together to learn and build in a community. Volunteers will be welcome to assist with this project to build-out space for homeless veterans.

While access to essential support services and affordable housing services is a serious concern for many low-income African Americans, Veterans in Pennsylvania face even greater challenges.

Since 2015, the Project Love Coalition has worked diligently to increase opportunities in entrepreneurship, workforce development/job training, affordable housing, supportive services, wellness services and produce positive outcomes for veterans living in central Pittsburgh. Our services reach thousands of Pittsburghers with the help of more than 15 nonprofit partners on-site offering programs that emphasize education, provide job training and invest in the next generation of Pittsburghers that will help the South Western Pennsylvania region grow for everyone.

Where our city and county fail to meet the needs of our homeless veterans is in our low housing stock and support services. Construction of a new mixed use resource center building is desperately needed. Project Love Coalition is administratively situated in a downtown workspace with very little office or space for group educational training or one-on-one veteran consultations.
