Our Services

PCSI Staff providing information about our services at a job fair.

Pittsburgh Community Services Inc. (PCSI) is the City of Pittsburgh’s designated Community Action Agency (CAA), dedicated to empowering individuals, families, and communities with low incomes. Through a comprehensive range of services, we help residents build long-term stability, strengthen resilience, and improve overall well-being.

What to Expect

We’re looking forward to supporting you as you achieve your goals of financial stability, economic mobility, and overall well-being.

As we get started, PCSI will ask you for a number of documents to ensure that we can help you and that you’re eligible for our services.

Whether you start the intake process in person or online, the information we request will include:

  • Your name and address
  • Identification proving your identity and residence
  • Your source(s) and amount(s) of income
  • A list of all members in your household and their sources and amount of income

Depending on the services you’re seeking, we may also ask for:

  • Your utility bill(s) and any shutoff notice you have received
  • Your landlord’s name and contact information
  • Your lease or rental agreement and an eviction notice if you’ve received one
  • Your resume, if you have one
  • Documents establishing your employment authorization

We will collect additional information that helps us to tailor our services and get to know you and your needs better (e.g., veteran status, type of health insurance, etc.)
