1. Introduction
AF
The City of McKeesport, as a Federal Entitlement, is required to complete an annual application
for the use of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Annual Action Plan is a guide for the City to allocate
its resources for specific activities that support the Goals and Strategies of the City of
McKeesport’s Five Year Consolidated Plan. This is the City of McKeesport’s second Annual Action
Plan of the FY 2020‐2024 Five Year Consolidated Plan. The Five Year Plan describes the housing
R
and non‐housing needs of City residents and presents a five year strategy to address those needs.
The FY 2021 Annual Action Plan for the City of McKeesport will serve the following functions:
D
A planning document that enables the City to view its HUD funding, not in isolation, but
as one tool in a comprehensive strategy to address housing, community development,
and economic development needs.
An application for CDBG program funds under HUD’s formula grant.
A strategic document to be followed in carrying out HUD programs.
An action plan that provides a basis for assessing performance in carrying out the use of
CDBG program funds.
The FY 2021 Annual Action Plan for the City of McKeesport includes the City’s CDBG Program, and
outlines which activities the City will undertake during the program year beginning July 1, 2021
and ending June 30, 2022. The City of McKeesport’s Department of Community Development is
the lead entity and administrator for the CDBG funds.

funds each year, develop the performance and evaluation standards for activities, and develop
the policies and procedures related to the administration and operation of the Homeless

The City did not directly consult with health care agencies, publicly funded institutions, and systems of
care that may discharge persons into homelessness. This was previously done during the planning process
for the Five Year Consolidated Plan last year. The City incorporated that information into the Five Year
Consolidated Plan, as well as information on the special needs population, the homeless, and those who
are at risk of becoming homeless. In discussions with the Continuum of Care, updated information was
obtained and incorporated into the plan for the homeless and the issues surrounding homelessness.
The Continuum of Care includes the following McKeesport social service providers: Center for Victims;
First Step Recovery Homes; Auberle; and ACTION Housing. Center for Victims provides emergency and
transitional housing and supportive services to female victims of domestic violence with or without
children. First Step Recovery Homes provides housing and supportive services to homeless men who are
in recovery from chronic substance abuse and may be dually diagnosed with a mental health disorder.
Auberle’s Movin’ On Transitional Living Program provides transitional housing and supportive services to

young men experiencing homelessness between the ages 18‐25. ACTION Housing provides Emergency
Shelter and Bridge Housing in McKeesport.
The City of McKeesport and the McKeesport Housing Corporation (MHC) evaluates all homes for lead
based paint and determines how to reduce the amount of lead based paint hazards per current standards
and regulations through its Housing Rehabilitation Program. The City consulted the 2019 Childhood Lead
Surveillance Annual Report released by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, which is the most recent
report available. The data identified in the Report are incorporated in the Annual Action Plan, and the
report has been added in IDIS under AP‐10.
The City also gained the perspective of business and civic leaders or agencies that work with lead‐based
paint issues such as the health department through the Pittsburgh/McKeesport/Penn Hills/Allegheny
County Continuum of Care. The Allegheny Health Department is a member of the CoC and operates the
Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention Program, and also provides healthy home inspections to
qualified participants in Allegheny County.

projects.
McKeesport Housing Authority (MHA) –
The City of McKeesport does not play a direct role in regard to public housing. The Board of the Housing
Authority is appointed by the Mayor and then approved by the City Council. However, MHA hires its own
R
staff and handles its own contracting, procurement, and management issues. Even though the City does
not play a direct role in the development, provision, and/or management of public housing in McKeesport,
the City does work in partnership with MHA on many initiatives, including housing developments and city
revitalization projects.
D
Each year, the McKeesport Housing Authority (MHA) receives an allocation of funds from HUD under the
Capital Fund Program to undertake the physical improvements. In addition, the MHA receives operating
subsidies to offset the operating deficits associated with public housing units and to carry out
maintenance. The McKeesport Housing Authority will receive $2,134,208 under a HUD Capital Fund grant
and $3,577,842 in Operating Funds for FY 2021.
MHA encourages resident participation in management through the resident councils of the McKeesport
Public Housing Communities. Every Public Housing Community has a resident council. The resident
councils have input in and involvement with management operations and modernization needs. Members
from each resident council attend the Resident Advisory Board meetings with MHA staff, where various
topics, including modernization and management needs, are discussed. The Housing Authority has
monthly community forums with the residents and tenant councils at each of the developments. MHA
uses the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers for homeownership assistance.
