OCH&S is developing programs guided by evidence-based practices and community input. This includes hiring social workers, outreach workers, and other professionals who can assist individuals and first responders in situations that require longer-term support such as those involving mental and behavioral health conditions, homelessness, and substance use.

The new OCH&S website includes:

  • social service navigation information and additional resources,

  • nationally-recognized Opioid Overdose Dashboard used to identify and address trends in overdose prevention and harm reduction strategies,

  • job postings for open OCH&S positions,

  • information about the Neighborhood Health and Safety Academy, and

  • Public Service Announcements (PSAs)

To learn more, visit the Office of Community Health and Safety website. If you have questions, email ochspgh@pittsburghpa.gov.
