Fragmentation between sectors challenges local governance and the ability to address endemic stresses facing Pittsburghers. The City of Pittsburgh alone includes 90 distinct neighborhoods and is home to over 3,100 non-profit organizations, many with overlapping missions that put them in competition for the same resources. By addressing fragmentation through intentional cross-sector collaboration and investment, the City sees the ONEPGH Investment Prospectus as a catalyst for cooperation to tackle our challenges and ensure that necessary services and opportunities are reaching our residents efficiently and effectively.
