LOGAN SQUARE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOC INC
Mission Statement
LSNA started out in 1962 as a small, committed group of neighbors hoping to address unfair housing policies in their community. A half century later, we are a $2.9 million organization directly serving over 7,000 of residents and impacting tens of thousands more with diverse, nationally-recognized education, housing, immigration, and health programming and organizing campaigns. Many of these residents belong to LSNA’s 50 member institutions, which include churches, schools, block clubs, multi-unit buildings, and social service agencies. LSNA relies heavily on the partnerships and networks of our member groups and outside allied agencies to achieve comprehensive program improvements and policy changes in our neighborhoods. Within this context, LSNA develops local leadership to identify, strategize, and organize around significant community issues that impact their lives such as affordable housing, school reform, immigration, living-wage jobs, economic development, health care, and neighborhood safety. Our goal is to ensure that families are connected to support networks and services that will enable them to develop their own social capital, look out for one another, and work toward common goals that promote community/family well-being.
