Rooted in Community

PHLF’s story began on a city street in Pittsburgh’s historic North Side — and from that beginning, we became nationally recognized for pioneering preservation strategies that restore neighborhoods without displacing the people who call them home.

Over time, we’ve learned a fundamental truth: the only lasting guarantee of preservation is ownership. That belief drives our growing easement program, which protects properties for future generations, and our strategy of using grant and investment funds to leverage preservation commitments from others.

Advocacy and education strengthen these efforts — but ownership and collaboration are at the heart of everything we do.
