I am posting this for general information, but also as a resource for those from afar who might be planning a GAP adventure this summer.
I'll post more information as to location, phone, etc as it becomes available.
Pittsburgh natives, Paul Kletter and Mary Beth Karabinos, are opening South Side Traveler's Rest, with help from The Progress Fund.
The hostel will ultimately accommodate up to 35 guests, offering both dormitory style and private sleeping rooms, with rest room and kitchen facilities, as well as lockers, Wi-Fi and bike detailing.
Located on Pittsburgh's historic South Side, it's the only hostel within walking/biking distance to Downtown Pittsburgh.

They are also trying to raise money for adding more capacity since they were long delayed in opening. Consider donating or spreading the word to others to donate to help them finish the build out of additional lodging space. Some of the perks are beds or rooms for the night!
