Proviso Leyden Council for Community Action Inc

PLCCA was established in 1968 by Bishop Dr. Claude Porter as a private State of Illinois, not-for profit 501 (c) 3 corporation to serve low-income residents in Cook County’s Proviso and Leyden Townships, the municipality of Norridge, and the Chicago metropolitan area. PLCCA continues to promote the enhancement, development, and implementation of practical approaches to serving low-income residents and the total community. As a community action agency, we recognize the results that can be achieved when every facet of the community voluntarily joins together in a partnership to address common concerns. PLCCA firmly believes the end result of our efforts will mean a family and community largely self-determined and therefore self-sufficient. PLCCA has been at the forefront of providing services that other agencies have traditionally avoided. All services to PLCCA’s clients are provided in a spirited manner, which reflects a profound understanding and respect for humanity and the rules governing confidentiality and integrity.

The mission of PLCCA, Inc. is to advocate for social change by promoting community development and empowering people through education, training, and supportive services.
