McKees Rocks
Building COMMUNITY equity for residents.
Homeownership not only provides families with the single largest investment of their lifetimes, but it also strengthens communities, fosters civic pride, and provides children with a stable living environment.
Increasing Homeowners in the Rocks
If McKees Rocks is to thrive, it must repopulate with owner-occupied housing. We must begin to create generational wealth here, from the inside out. This project will help us to do that.
