Reports
The Pittsburgh Child Guidance Foundation extends a collection relevant resources – these reports, studies and articles represent a combination of PCGF-produced reports as well as information prepared by trusted partners and organizations whose work supports our mission of advocacy, prevention and aid for children experiencing homelessness.
Children of Incarcerated Parents Resources:
For more than a decade, PCGF focused its efforts on an initiative to address the needs of children whose parents were incarcerated. In addition to providing the seed money to establish Amachi Pittsburgh, the Foundation continues to address this issue by partnering with the Allegheny County Department of Human Services and other grantmakers.
