Updates from the URA during this time
The URA will continue to meet the needs of City of Pittsburgh residents and businesses during the outbreak of COVID-19. We are following proper precautions for our employees and the public. We realize this pandemic will deeply challenge the lives of our clients, communities and economy, and will do everything we can to help our neighbors.
A Message from Greg Flisram, Executive Director of the URA
Out of concern for the health and wellness of our employees in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in support of effective social distancing measures as advised by the Centers for Disease Control and Mayor Peduto’s Executive Order, the URA will be implementing virtual work procedures beginning Monday, March 16, through Tuesday, March 31, 2020.
Although the 412 Blvd. of the Allies office building is closed to the public and our employees will be working remotely, I want to be clear that essential URA functions will remain fully operational. We have established a work-from-home protocol for all divisions to ensure the needs of URA borrowers and partners are met. URA staff will be online, phone calls received will be forwarded, and meetings will be conducted remotely as necessary.
Stay in Touch with the URA
Until further notice, and in best interest of public health, the URA will be offering its consumer programs and services virtually.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the URA has extended the closure of its physical offices to the public for the foreseeable future. URA employees are currently working remotely. The agency remains fully operational, but we ask for your understanding if response times are slower than normal.
Staff will be online, phone calls will be forwarded, and meetings will be conducted remotely as necessary.
Please check back for updates.
