NeighborWorks Western Pennsylvania is here to help our neighbors across the entire spectrum of homeownership. For homebuyers, we offer Before You Buy workshops, and comprehensive online education and counseling. For current homeowners, we provide post-purchase counseling, whether you want to review your budget as you plan for a home improvement project, or you’re experiencing a job loss or reduced pay, and need help prioritizing bills. Our counseling services are free. Questions? Call (412) 281-9773 or email info@neighborworkswpa.org.
