  • About You

  • Federal law requires Community Action Agency boards to include three types of members. Public Sector members are elected officials or people they appoint to represent them. Private Sector members come from business, labor, faith communities, education, and other key interests in the area. Customer Sector members have experience as PCSI customers or live in the neighborhoods PCSI serves, and are selected to represent those communities.

  • Customer Sector Applicants Only

  • Customer Sector Board Members represent the people PCSI is dedicated to serving. Candidates for these seats live in the City of Pittsburgh and have household income under 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. For 2026, that's $31,920 for a household of one, $43,280 for two, $54,640 for three, and $66,000 for four. (You can find these levels here: HHS FPL Guidelines 2026) If you're not sure whether you qualify, apply anyway and we'll walk through it with you.

  • Do you live in the City of Pittsburgh?*
  • Is your combined household income below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level?*
  • Have you or your family participated in PCSI programs or similar community services?*

  • Federal law requires that Customer Sector Board Members be selected through a democratic process. This could mean being chosen by a neighborhood association or community group you belong to, or through a small, simple community election. PCSI will guide you through whichever process applies.

  • Are you willing to participate in the democratic process?*

  • Availability and Commitment

  • The PCSI board currently meets quarterly, with additional committee work between meetings. Most of our meetings are virtual, but we ask for in person attendance for certain key meetings.

  • Are you able to make this commitment?*

  • Final Items

  • A conflict of interest usually means you or a close family member could benefit financially from PCSI decisions.

    Common examples: a family member works for PCSI, you or a family member owns or works for a business that sells goods or services to PCSI, or serves on the board or staff of an organization that receives funding from PCSI or competes with PCSI for the same grants.

    Having participated in PCSI programs is not a conflict of interest. A conflict doesn't automatically disqualify you; the board just needs to know about it so it can be managed.

  • Do you have any relationships or interests that could present a conflict of interest with PCSI?*
