LCSA is a partnership of the United Way of the Columbia-Willamette and organized labor (AFL-CIO). Active in the community since 1974, LCSA engages in cooperative relationships with community-based partners to develop, sponsor, and participate in a wide range of health and human services.
LCSA is funded by United Way of the Columbia-Willamette, state and federally funded grants, and dontions from local organizations and individuals.
Through funding and partnership with Worksystems, Inc. and WorkSource Portland Metro, LCSA's WIA Labor Liaison Grant connects workers facing job loss with local dislocated worker services, including skill identification and upgrades, job resources, and information on how to file unemployment claims.
