Our Mission

The major mission of Community Empowerment Association, Inc. (CEA) is to empower communities and families by providing high quality, well-managed, innovative services, including family support services, education, housing, economic development, and employment. Core belief of CEA is that families develop best in a community with a sense of order, positive social interaction, and opportunities supported by positive adults. It is CEA's aim and commitment to work with individuals and families to build, foster and empower the African-American community through capitalization of indigenous support, community stakeholders, organized network, and community education. CEA's cultural frameworks are clearly unique to human and social service providers in the Pittsburgh region. CEA capitalizes on the powerful role that cultural influences play within the African American communities.
