The Cambodian American League of Lowell, Inc. (CALL) was founded in July 1993 as a Community Development Corporation (CDC) in response to the absence of targeted community and economic development assistance to Lowell's Cambodian community. CALL's primary focus is to promote homeownership among the Cambodian population through homeownership training and technical assistance and affordable housing development; to help start, strengthen and expand local businesses in the Lower Highlands neighborhood and throughout the city through Microenterprise training and loan programs.

CALL has directed its considerable efforts toward projects assisting Cambodian business development through small business training, ongoing technical assistance, and micro loan programs, in addition to homeownership training and assistance, and citizenship education within the Cambodian population.

The Cambodian American League of Lowell, Inc., has enjoyed much success in administering its various programs over the past several years. This success has been due in part to the many valuable partnerships that have been formed within the community and the support these partnerships have afforded the organization. CALL strives to work with all segments of the city's Southeast Asian community, both public and private, as well as other immigrant and ethnic organizations to accomplish its mission.
