LMSDI compiled public investments in Pittsburgh neighborhoods from three main agencies responsible for affordable housing:
• The Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh (HACP)
• Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA)
• Urban Redevelopment Authority.
LMSDI also calculated a decade of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, which were not neighborhood-specific, but were instrumental in supporting city agencies.

The Lower Marshall-Shadeland Development Inititiative (LMSDI) evaluated the lending records of more than 900 banks which approved home mortgage loans in the city of Pittsburgh between 2007 and 2020.
We then evaluated the public and private financing by the City Council district to better understand where funds flowed, by neighborhood, based on a district analysis.
LMSDI’s objective is to understand the amount of public and private funds from Pittsburgh neighborhoods received since the Great Recession of 2008.
