URA Financing
Streetface Program
The Streetface Program is designed to provide funds to
commercial building owners and tenants to improve their building
facades, and is part of the City's Mainstreet Program. Improved
facades make a neighborhood shopping district more attractive
and inviting to potential shoppers.
The Streetface Program complements and supports other public and
private efforts and investments in the neighborhoods that have a
common goal of improving the quality of life and maintaining the
neighborhood as a desirable place to live. These efforts include
City housing programs that encourage reinvestment in the
neighborhood's housing stock and local efforts to revitalize
business districts through promotion, better maintenance and new
business recruitment.
Streetface is part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority's (URA)
strategy to promote opportunities for those groups who have not
had ready access to business financing in the City of
Pittsburgh, including minority- and woman-owned businesses.
Urban Development Fund (UDF)
The Urban Development Fund (UDF) Program is designed to
stimulate the growth of new and existing businesses in the City
of Pittsburgh. The UDF provides market-rate gap financing for
small- to medium-sized non-residential real estate development
where vacant or under-utilized property will be put to
productive use and where the applicant is unable to finance
fully the proposed project with equity, bank financing and other
private and public financing.
The UDF is part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority's (URA)
strategy to promote opportunities for those groups who have not
had ready access to business financing in the City of
Pittsburgh, including minority- and woman-owned businesses.
