About The HUB:
This past spring, LEVEL opened The HUB in the former PNC Bank at 421 Chartiers Avenue—a physical space where we can connect directly with YOU, the McKees Rocks residents. Check out some event images. We have been warming the seat for the McKees Rocks CDC to relocate here for their new office. We are currently co-locating together. Read our Fall Happenings Newsletter
During the past year, LEVEL has been busy laying a solid foundation—not just for our homes, but for our organization as well. What we are building together, as a community, is meant to uplift generations to come. Current renters will be in some of these newly renovated homes in the coming year–hosting friends and family for the Holidays. Can you see yourself in your new home this year? LEVEL is ready to help get you started on the path to homeownership.
Ready to take the next step? Fill out the LEVEL Homeowner Assessment.
