Community Empowerment Association is founded on the basic belief that families develop best in a community with a sense of order, positive social interaction, and opportunities supported by positive adults. Our major mission is to empower communities and families by providing high quality, well-managed, innovative services, including family support services, education, housing, economic development, and employment.
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.
