cityLAB is a tiny nonprofit.
We are excited about Garfield and excited about Tiny Houses.

(Thanks to a grant from the Pittsburgh Partnership for
Neighborhood Development to study how to bring Tiny
Houses to Garfield.)

Garfield has: great community assets, a great location, a decreasing number of vacant houses…

…but many vacant lots.
(The County Assessment says there are 577 vacant lots in Garfield, and that 181 of them are owned by the City or by the Urban Redevelopment Authority. The Bloomfield-Garfield Corporation is assembling
them bit by bit for sale.)

Tiny Houses could bridge the gap…
!
(There are lots of vacant lots. And there are no minimum size
restrictions for single family houses in Pittsburgh.)

…and make Garfield a destination for a new type of housing that
people can’t find anywhere else.
