(POSTPONED): ELRC Region 5 Downtown, Satellite Offices to Open July 6

UPDATED July 1, 2020: Out of an abundance of caution with the rising COVID-19 cases in Allegheny County, the ELRC Region 5 and it's satellite offices will remain closed. Learn more.

Beginning July 6, 2020, Early Learning Resource Center Region 5 will reopen its physical office spaces by appointment only for families and professionals interested in accessing services and support.

Hours and Locations 

The Providence Family Center location at 3113 Brighton Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15212, will reopen August 3, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. by appointment only.

All staff working at these locations will be required to follow guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including wearing a mask while walking through or working in communal spaces, socially distancing themselves from others by at least six feet at all times, sanitizing their workspaces regularly, and maintaining proper handwashing and sanitizing.

Anyone with an appointment must wear a mask unless they have a medical condition that prevents them from doing so. Anyone who can’t wear a mask is asked to mention it when they are scheduling their appointment. Staff will take everyone’s temperature as they enter the ELRC Region 5 suite, and anyone with a temperature of 100.4 or higher will be asked to reschedule their appointment. 

ELRC Region 5 staff will work to accommodate everyone’s appointments while ensuring appropriate distancing practices. Those with appointments are asked to come alone and should consider waiting outside of the suite until a staff member is ready for them to avoid overcrowding the space.

Virtual and phone appointments will continue to be available for convenience and safety. Clients can contact their family specialist, family navigator or early learning program engagement specialist to coordinate their meeting to occur by phone.

In-person operations will continue to be dependent on recommendations provided by Governor Wolf and the Pennsylvania Department of Health. The ELRC Region 5 will continue to monitor these recommendations as well as the reopening status of Allegheny County.
