The Coalition for a Better Acre (CBA) is a membership-based Community Development Corporation dedicated to resident empowerment and sustainable community revitalization for current and future residents of Lowell.

As a Community Development Corporation (CDC), CBA is a professional, not-for-profit organization providing economic development, real estate development, and resident empowerment to promote and support our community. Like most CDCs, we serve a specific geographic location -- in our case, the city of Lowell -- and focus on lower-income residents and struggling neighborhoods. For most of CBA's 26 years, we have focused on the Acre neighborhood, traditionally one of Lowell's most diverse neighborhoods where many new immigrant groups have come to settle and find work, often encountering economic hardship and language barriers.

CBA has made a real difference during its 26-year history by joining together two powerful elements: community economic development and resident empowerment. That tradition continues today with:

Active community engagement programs,

On-going real estate developments, and

Foreclosure prevention at the Home Preservation Coalition.

Your contribution is an investment in our neighborhood's future. Please give generously.
