The Squirrel Hill Urban Coalition is a non-profit community group dedicated to preserving and improving the quality of life in the 14th Ward of the City of Pittsburgh.

Members of our volunteer-supported standing committees work to provide leadership to our community by studying, debating, and advocating positions on issues affecting our neighborhood's vitality. Our shared vision is reflected through a long-range planning process which fosters community-based initiatives in the areas of housing, education, transportation, commercial, residential and institutional development, and parks and open spaces. You are invited to become a member.

Committees

The most important factors in a family's determination in where to live are education, safety, housing and the quality of life in the neighborhood.

The Squirrel Hill Urban Coalition recognizes these important issues and has developed an entire committee structure to incorporate these concerns and to allow residents to have a voice as we continue to shape of our neighborhood.

We know that no two people feel exactly the same about how to continue to maintain a vibrant and thriving Squirrel Hill, and our emphasis is therefore on education and dialogue. Our committees provide an open forum for YOUR ideas and energy.

Based on decisions made at the committee level, the Coalition board can take action by offering support of opposition to projects and plans that directly impact the 14th Ward.
