Homewood Development Activities Meetings
The Homewood Development Activities Meetings (DAM) is a forum available for residents, business owners, property owners, and other stakeholders to learn more about proposed Homewood development projects and provide feedback before the project can move forward in the City’s planning and approval process.
As a Registered Community Organization (RCO) for Homewood, the Homewood Community Development Collaborative (HCDC) will host public meetings to review upcoming projects in Homewood before they are reviewed by applicable City of Pittsburgh commissions and boards, allowing your feedback to be heard early in the planning process. View a map of the PDP’s RCO boundary here.
All meetings will take place at least thirty (30) days prior to the applicant’s first public hearing.

About Registered Community Organizations (RCOs)
Community organizations often tackle a great variety of issues such as social services and community cleanups. Community organizations that are concerned with the development of the community can become a Registered Community Organization (RCO) in order to have a formal role in the current development projects as well as neighborhood planning processes.
