Workshops

PHDA workshops and programs are the primary way we fulfill our mission to empower low to moderate income residents to become home owners in their community as stakeholders, strengthening their neighborhood, and improving quality of life.

Free First-Time Homebuyer Education Workshop

PHDA, Inc. sponsors a two-hour Homebuyer Education workshop that provides information about the costs and steps involved in purchasing a home. Enrollment and successful completion of this program is required to qualify for low cost mortgage options, as well as assistance with down payment and closing costs. View our upcoming workshops schedule.

Help Support Our Infrastructure Single Family Rehab Construction Program

Through this new and developing program, PHDA will work to increase affordable homeownership options by rehabilitating the existing housing stock in the Borough of Wilkinsburg, using energy-efficient building standards. Initial implementation of the program will focus on the Princeton Park Community, an area which Wilkinsburg has received County Funding for redevelopment in. Learn More

“Wilkinsburg is fortunate to have PHDA and the Dollar Bank Home Buyer Program Workshop. It takes a lot of help to make sure that everyone has the knowledge and resources to become a home owner and this program continues to be of great value to our residents.”
