Duquesne Light Company has opened a new center to assist veterans in Pittsburgh that are homeless or low income. According to a release from Duquesne Light staff member Alyssa Battaglia yesterday, the Duquesne Light Veterans Workforce Center was shown after a ribbon cutting on October 25th in partnership with the U.S.  Department of Labor and Veteran’s Place of Washington Boulevard. Battaglia also notes that Since 2021, Duquesne Light Company has contributed $325,000 to renovate the former two-story donation and storage unit into a facility that offers activity areas, meeting rooms and virtual training programs to help veterans navigate their job search. 

Battaglia also asserts that Pennsylvania is home to the fourth-largest veteran population in the United States, with more than 800,000 veterans living across the state.
