Second Avenue Commons - AIA Pittsburgh

Second Avenue Commons seeks to provide sanctuary, support, and resources for people experiencing homelessness in downtown Pittsburgh. The facility developed under the alias “Project Cares” is envisioned as a year-round “low barrier” shelter accepting adults without children and their partners, pets, and possessions. Within the facility wrap-around services address the myriad and complex issues confronting those among us who are most vulnerable and complete a place that enables individuals’ greater self-sufficiency on their path to a safe and secure quality of life.
