As part of the heat response, the Allegheny County Department of Human Services and partner agencies will check on older adults, including outreach by home-delivered meals drivers and care management workers. Senior centers continue operating on their regular schedules and can provide a cool place for community members seeking relief. Older adults may call the SeniorLine (412-350-5460) for assistance and can also visit Allegheny Connect for a countywide list of senior centers.
Street outreach teams will connect with people experiencing unsheltered homelessness and provide water and cooling supplies. Unhoused adults may go to Second Avenue Commons (700 Second Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15219) daily from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Families experiencing housing instability should call the Allegheny Link (1-866-730-2368).
