For over 50 years, PACE has built economic opportunity in Los Angeles. Now, we’re building a permanent home for that mission.
A Home for Economic Opportunity
Launched in September 2026, Building On Our Roots is a $10 million, five-year campaign to establish PACE’s first permanent headquarters and PACE Community Empowerment Center. This new building will bring our programs together, foster collaboration, and position PACE to better serve our community for the next 50+ years.

What We're Building Together
Since our founding in 1975, PACE has grown from a small employment agency into one of Southern California’s leading community development organizations. Now, we’re moving to a new headquarters and building the space to bring our future vision to life: connecting services, strengthening partnerships, and creating new possibilities for the communities we serve.
Why this matters
What This Building Makes Possible
PACE’s new headquarters will serve as a lasting resource for economic empowerment: a place where individuals thrive, businesses grow, and families build stronger futures.
A stronger Foundation
A shared home base that brings PACE’s people together, strengthens collaboration, and provides the infrastructure to advance our mission for generations to come.
A Hub for Connection
Dedicated spaces that bring our community together to learn, connect, access vital resources, and pursue opportunities that were previously out of reach.
Greater Community Impact
By bringing our Business, Employment, Education, and Energy programs under one roof, PACE can better coordinate services, and expand access to support for our community.
A Lasting Neighborhood Investment
Building on more than five decades of community impact, PACE’s new headquarters provides a permanent home for our mission and a lasting investment in a more vibrant, resilient Los Angeles.

Our $10 million campaign will help activate our new headquarters and build the organizational capacity to carry PACE’s mission forward.
