Welcome to Community Programming

Department of Public Works does more than operate and maintain infrastructure while providing essential services for everyday life, regional economic growth and environmental sustainability. We also provide 3 amazing community programs where we help provide everyday support for the Pittsburgh community.

Below are our 3 programs:

Snow Angels
Pairs older residents and residents with disabilities with nearby neighbors who volunteer to assist them with snow removal on their sidewalks and walkways.

Love Your Block
A mini-grant program that brings neighbors together to improve our communities by combating blight, creating assets, and building resilience - block-by-block.
