Za'kiyah House is a black-led, power-building organization providing support to people experiencing homelessness, drug addiction, and reentering from incarceration in the Pittsburgh area.

In 2016, our founder, Ronna Davis-Moore, began the work of Za'kiyah House as a yearly event to help people struggling with drug addiction. Through this event, we realized that many of these individuals faced challenges beyond addiction, namely homelessness and the threat of re-incarceration. To create real change, we knew we had to address all these challenges together.

In 2018, we took a big step by opening our first house as a part of our Supportive Housing Program, Richard's Place. Our main goal was to reduce drug addiction by providing a place to live and teaching people important life skills. In 2022, we expanded our efforts, opening a new house for women and starting a workshop series to help even more people.

We look forward to continue to find ways to support the community, ensuring that people feel their innate worth and live life to their potential.
