[Highland Park] thanks for the info!

Many thanks for all of you who replied - a number of the resources we had already tried, but there were a few new leads. For those of you who might have these questions in the future - the Housing Authority has some info and assigns a caseworker, but the best results come to folks who are able to do some of their own sleuthing. Of course, access to websites depends on internet access as well, which might be difficult for some folks. The websites that are out there are very rudimentary and not comprehensive, so that presents its own issues. Happy holidays, everyone - Helen

[Highland Park] free sofa

Hi Neighbors, We have a spare sofa to pass along to someone else. It's the Klippan from Ikea: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S39871653. It's called a two-seat sofa, but it's actually bigger than that. It retails for $229.00. Ikea offers several slip covers for it, ranging from $19 - 49. Ours has an off-white slip cover, but our cat has scratched it up a bit and it probably needs to be replaced. If you are interested please email and we can arrange for you to see it/pick it up. Happy Holidays, Sarah

For those of you technically competent, we have an Airport Extreme Base Station wireless access point, 54 Mbps. We have FIOS now and no need for it. Pretty much new. Mayte Sáenz

[Highland Park] Creative Reuse Open Hours
by Amy P. Kennedy 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Just wanted to let folks know about a new project working out of the space at Construction Junction. It's called Creative Reuse Pittsburgh. Creative Reuse Pittsburgh collects reusable discards from from area businesses, and we have a small retail space where we sell a variety of materials that are ideal for creative and educational purposes - paper, binders, trays and containers, fabric, craft supplies, tubes of all sorts, plastic doohickeys, and much more. It can be a great resource for personal craft projects, school or senior group craft projects, or large-scale art projects, theater sets, etc. We are scheduling open hours for teachers, and anyone else, during the holiday break: Wednesday December 23rd 2pm-5pm Wednesday Dec. 30, 2-5pm Saturday January 2nd, 9am-5pm Just come in the main door of Construction Junction (Lexington Avenue in North Point Breeze, practically right across the street from the co-op), turn left and pass the cash register area and vending machines, and look for the Creative Reuse door right there beside the vending machines and head up the stairs. It's not a well-heated space, so dress warmly. More information and sign up for the email blasts here: http://creativereusepgh.blogspot.com/ Thanks!

[Highland Park] Section 8?
by Helen Blier 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Hello, neighbors - The list has proven useful to so many folks - so I figured I'd toss this question out and benefit from the collected wisdom. I'm trying to help a friend out who recently qualified for Section 8 housing. She and her children are having to relocate on short notice and she is having problems finding decent Section 8 properties in the area. In fact, I'm having trouble finding ANY single resource (website, phone number, etc) that would offer information about available properties; how does one find a list of these in the area? Do any of you know where to find this information? Or do any of you know folks with qualified properties whom she can contact? It's all been kind of baffling. Many thanks - perhaps you can email me off-list at the above address so as not to clutter the inboxes of the uninterested. Happy Holidays, and thanks in advance for helping me help another neighborhood family. Helen
