Pittsburgh is famously known as a city of bridges, but it is also a city of gaps. Pittsburgh Community Services Inc.

At PCSI, we work with our customers and their communities to bridge the gaps, supporting people with low income as they find financial stability and economic mobility.

MISSION

To support individuals, families, and communities in Pittsburgh by providing anti-poverty services and resources that assist with achieving long-term stability.
