Housing
We find, secure, and furnish housing prior to welcoming each new arrival. Housing must be safe, clean, pest free, affordable, and on a bus line. Public bus access is key because this is the only way that most of our new neighbors can get to work during the first year.

Recent policy changes have challenged refugee resettlement, impacting our ability to support newcomers. While we're working to ensure no one is left behind, we need your help. Join us in advocating for these programs and supporting refugees through donations or by contacting your representatives.
What does affordable housing look like for Hello Neighbor?
It is important to note that any rent above $1,000, regardless of size, becomes challenging for most of our new neighbors to afford. The going rate for entry level jobs in Pittsburgh, PA is about $13-$14 per hour. Many families rely on single family incomes. In the event that there are multiple working adults, Hello Neighbor can accommodate larger rent prices.
Hello Neighbor does not sign leases on behalf of our clients. We look for 6 month to 1 year leases and can generally ensure that 3 months rent are supported by our federal funding. We supply our families with the tools and resources needed to build a strong rental history.
Who does Hello Neighbor work with?
Hello Neighbor works with local property management companies and independently owned properties. We are willing to work with any company that meets the requirements and payment amounts listed above.
Are you a landlord, property manager, or property owner with affordable housing availability looking to make a difference?
