Through our involvement with the Pennsylvania Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement Fund (PHARE), Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh offers down payment and closing-cost assistance to eligible first-time homebuyers. The PHARE program reduces upfront costs, a significant barrier to homeownership, and expands opportunities for homeownership, especially for lower-income households.
