About Us

Our Mission

 

The Hill District Consensus Group builds the leadership and power of low-income and working class residents of the Hill District to advance racial and economic justice in our neighborhoods, our schools and our city. Through grassroots organizing, budget and policy advocacy, and implementing our community plans, we are building a community of hope, justice, and opportunity – a community where all residents have access to living wage jobs, family-supporting benefits, affordable housing, high-quality education, and a voice in the decisions that affect our lives.

For the organization's purposes, the Hill District is defined as the area bounded by Sixth Avenue to the West, Boulevard of the Allies to the South, Robinson Street to Aliquippa Street to Centre Avenue to the Southeast, to Bigelow Boulevard to the East and North. (On the map, this includes the neighborhoods in light blue, including the Lower Hill section in yellow.)

(In this PGHSNAP Map, the Greater Hill District is shown in the light blue, including the section of the Lower Hill in yellow.)
