At Habitat Pittsburgh, we remain committed to helping open doors to homeownership and creating pathways to strength, stability, and self-reliance for everyone. Happy Juneteenth to all of our supporters. 💙🏡

to strong communities and the Larimer neighborhood in Pittsburgh's east-end got a little stronger this week as volunteers from Lowe's Home Improvement moved progress forward on two new townhomes being built by Habitat Pittsburgh. Thanks to Lowe's and the NFL for partnering on this event!

Earlier this week, Habitat Pittsburgh made a busload of progress on two new townhomes in the city's east-end thanks to some extra muscle on the build site from Steelers Legend Jerome Bettis.

Sponsored by Lowe's Home Improvement, the build was part of our initiative and adds to a host of NFL activations around the NFL Draft that began last night. Check out photos of Jerome and Lowe's red vest associates working together to help to brighter futures for two Pittsburgh families!
