The Woodland Avenue Revitalization Strategy consists of an acquisition, rehab, and resale strategy in the Marshall Shadeland neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh.

Background

Woodland Avenue is located in the Marshall Shadeland neighborhood, off of Brighton Road with easy access to the Northshore and Downtown. The development's eight homes sat vacant for a number of years.

Development

Over a series of years, the Brightwood Civic Group and the Northside Leadership Conference gained site control of numerous single-family homes along the Woodland Avenue corridor. Phase I is complete and Phase II is under construction (5 units).

Results

All eight renovated homes will be sold to homeowners. Buyers that are income eligible at 115 percent Area Median Income (AMI) or less will receive second deferred mortgages from the URA.
