A zoning experiment to preserve affordable housing in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood as it continues to grow was given a six-month extension Tuesday. City council members are exploring if the strategy can be used in other neighborhoods.
The program started in July 2019. Council created an overlay district in Lawrenceville that required 10% of any project involving 20 or more units be affordable for people earning at least 50% of the Allegheny County’s area mean income. That figure is defined as $38,000 for a family of four.
