LCA Statement of Purpose

The LCA (Life Center Association) cooperatively owns and holds in trust safe, stable at-cost housing for the long-term use of low to moderate income peoples in order to co-create a just, sustainable community in Philadelphia, PA. Our work cultivates local, non-hierarchical leadership, direct democracy, social justice organizing and housing justice rooted in the history of the Movement for a New Society.

We share educational resources with our community and neighborhood emphasizing cooperative principles and racial and economic justice. We work with/in other organizations and networks that pursue similar goals.
