Hill House Association dissolving this summer

PITTSBURGH — The Hill House Association will dissolve at the end of June.

The nonprofit that offers a variety of services in the Hill District has faced financial troubles for a while.

It previously tried to sell some of its buildings to save the organization, but a plan last summer received pushback and a lawsuit was filed by local politicians.

"We’re facing indebtedness that is beyond our means to raise money right now," said Emma Lucas-Darby, president of the board of Hill House Association.

TRENDING NOW:

"When we were faced with the recognition that there could be a gap in services to our community, there was a moral decision that we are here, we have the relationships, it should be us," said Trisha Gadson, executive director of Macedonia Family and Community Enrichment Center.

It was previously renting space in the main Hill House building and will assume Hill House's senior services, moving them to the Thelma Lovette branch of the YMCA, not far away on Centre Avenue.

ACH Clear Pathways will take over Hill House’s cultural offerings and move into the Kaufmann Center, perhaps even buying the building down the line.
