The mission of the Wilkinsburg Land Bank is to transform our abandoned, tax delinquent, and vacant properties into homes for new owners, fostering racial and economic equity while enabling economic mobility for Wilkinsburg renters.
Our empty houses can become a boon for our community, by creating affordable home-ownership opportunities without displacement, supporting underserved communities, minority contractors, and young families.
Vacant houses can be transformed into welcoming homes for young families, which will revitalize our schools, our local businesses, and create cleaner, safer communities, while the profits that come from renovations stay within the local community.
