Chicanos Por La Causa, or CPLC, is a non-profit organization based in Arizona founded in 1969.

[1][2] CPLC was founded in 1969 by young Chicano men and women, hoping to improve the quality of life for Arizona's Mexican American population.

Inspired by Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez, CPLC advocated for equity in education, politics, and labor conditions.

[4][5] The National Council of La Raza invested and supported the organization, and with that financial assistance, CPLC implemented programs focusing on bilingual housing referral services for low income communities in South Central Phoenix.

[6] In the 1970s, CPLC board member Guadalupe Huerta advocated for increased capacity of senior housing related to the destruction of the Golden Gate Barrio by the City of Phoenix, which led to the development of one of the earliest known senior housing projects in Phoenix, Casa de Primavera.
