I CALL HOMEWOOD HOME THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED TO THE STORIES OF HOMEWOOD RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES Serving the community since 1994, Cuccaro Plumbing has handled all types of plumbing needs from a hose bib washer to installation of entire systems in commercial buildings. Located on Kelly Street they are currently involved with doing sewer and drainage work and plumbing installation of half the homes for the Kelly Hamilton redevelopment. Kali, who is co-owner of Cuccaro along with her father Kenneth, handles a great portion of the administrative function of the business. Cuccaro originally started as a small home business, according to Kali as she remembers as a child. However, as business grew the company relocated to Point Breeze and then to Homewood, where their business is currently located. Kali’s father, President & CEO Kenneth Cuccaro, grew up in Wilkinsburg, PA. Kali and her father Kenneth, a first generation master plumber never thought about leaving the Homewood area. Kali commented, “Customers have been good to us.” In fact a resident was the first to tell them about plans for the redevelopment of Homewood and suggested that Cuccaro put in a bid for the Kelly Hamilton project. Needless to say they were awarded the contract by Alliance Construction Group. Cuccaro roughly has 9 -11 employees on the job site, two of which are Section 3 employees. Section 3 is a program administered by HUD that requires 30% of all new hires to be from the local community. Additionally, Cuccaro Plumbing has a four year apprenticeship program in place which offers free tuition as long as the employee retains a certain grade requirement. Keith B. Key, President of Alliance Construction Group is proud to have Cuccaro plumbing as a partner in the redevelopment of Homewood. He is even more impressed with the company’s commitment to hire residents from the community! 7007 Kelly St., Pittsburgh, PA 15208 Phone: (412) 414-4911 Kelly Hamilton Homes EMPLOYMENT opportunities To learn more about opportunities for employment please contact: (412) 363-4401 or email Section3@KBKFoundation.org. 3
