Chicanos Por La Causa, a promise of opportunity.

Our parent organization Chicanos Por La Causa, Inc., (CPLC) was founded and incorporated in 1969 by a group of community and student activists of Mexican descent to address the problems of the barrios of South Central Phoenix, Arizona. Although their initial focus was to create employment opportunities and combat community deterioration, CPLC became increasingly aware that these problems were much deeper rooted. As a result, CPLC expanded its services and provides assistance to disadvantaged individuals regardless of ethnicity, gender, age, or creed. Our service delivery system provides bilingual and bicultural social services in Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada impacting more than two hundred thousand individuals of low-income annually.

In 2010, a community assessment was conducted with Nevada’s stakeholders and vested community members to acquire input and determine community need. CPLC made a decision to expand into Nevada offering housing counseling services and economic development opportunities, and opened their Las Vegas office on October 2010. On December 2014, CPLC Nevada, Inc. was officially incorporated as a 501c (3) wholly owned affiliate of Chicanos Por La Causa, Inc. CPLC Nevada currently offers the following programs; Housing Counseling & Education, Small Business Lending, Parenting Nevada Program, and Tiempo Real Estate Development in Northern Nevada.

Through thoughtful planning, CPLC established and currently focuses on the following services within the program lines listed below:
