Housing and Community Services

Meaningful support and guidance for our neighbors.

At Goodwill, we understand that having a safe and stable place to call home is a fundamental need for all. That’s why our Housing Programs aim to provide meaningful support and guidance to those experiencing homelessness.

Through our partnership with Allegheny Link, we connect individuals and families who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness to safe alternatives. Our services include emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, supportive housing, and supportive services.

We believe that everyone deserves a chance to thrive, and we offer case management to our housing program participants to help them reach their goals. Together with Allegheny Link, we work to bridge the gap within the housing industry and provide our community with the resources they need to build a better future.

Participants in our housing programs are in need of household goods and furniture. To coordinate donations, please contact Cindy Owoc, Assistant Director of Housing, at                 (412) 475-6085 or cindi.owoc@goodwillswpa.org.

Helping people find stability and independence through supportive housing.

Goodwill’s Housing Programs are dedicated to helping individuals and families experiencing homelessness move into permanent housing. Our experienced and qualified staff provides customized service delivery to address the specific needs of each person, with a focus on achieving a rapid shift to independence.

Our program is unique due to the size and scope of available services.

Goodwill’s program is unique because we have strategic partnerships that allow our clients to access a broad range of services and support through multiple funding streams, community organizations, government entities, educational institutions, physical and mental health providers, income support providers, and employers.
From high school equivalency classes, English-as-a-second-language classes, computer classes, job search and placement services, and more, we are dedicated to bridging the gap and helping people overcome barriers to employment and self-sufficiency.
