Love Your Block applications are currently available! Click here to apply online. Love Your Block is a program created to revitalize our City - block by block! Here's how it works: Nonprofit organizations from across Pittsburgh are invited to propose projects to transform their blocks with a $1,000 Home Depot gift card and the support of key City Departments. Competitive projects will be selected, after which City agencies will engage with awarded group members and listen to their block improvement requests. They will then proceed to carry out the requested services, as feasible. With grant money, the selected groups purchase equipment and supplies, engage their neighbors, and roll up their sleeves to carry out their own brand of block beautification and repair. Make sure you rally volunteers and put forth your best effort, because this year we are adding a contest with a prize for the best project! A $2,000 award will be given to the most impressive block transformation, to be used by the winning community group for future site improvements. (Note: The prize will be in the form of Home Depot gift cards.) The City of Pittsburgh is grateful to the Home Depot Foundation for its investment in Love Your Block and its national commitment to vibrant and sustainable communities. Partners
