The Hispanic Corporation (PHDC) participates in Allegheny County’s new Whole Home Repairs Program (WHRP) to help homeowners and renters make emergency home repairs.
PHDC is the only Latino-focused organization in Pittsburgh that connects Hispanic construction companies with County contracts through Action Housing Inc, an Allegheny County agency that serves the community’s most vulnerable housing populations.
PHDC has a Business Incubator at its Beechview offices, where entrepreneurs are guided to create business plans, cash flow projections, balance sheets and market analysis, and identify financing strategies.
The Business Incubator has more than 50 construction companies in different sub-industries joining the WHRP program. As of January 2024, two of our entrepreneurs are in the final stages of signing up for active participation in the program.
This participation is part of the Housing Initiative, through which PHDC partners with different landlords and real estate companies in order to support the Hispanic community in accessing rental properties and homeownership in and around the Pittsburgh metropolitan region.
Likewise, with the incorporation of the Business Incubator construction companies into this program, numerous Hispanic entrepreneurial companies will benefit from the program and will need to increase their workforce to meet these commitments, increasing Latino access to the region’s workforce.
