A Place to Live is a 1941 documentary film directed by Irving Lerner and produced by the Philadelphia Housing Association, a nonprofit affordable housing advocacy group. The film was designed to call attention to inner city squalor in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by focusing on a child’s journey from school to his family’s cramped and squalid apartment in a rat-infested slum neighborhood.[1][2]
A Place to Live was nominated for the 1941 Academy Award for Documentary Short Subject.[3]
The Academy Film Archive preserved A Place to Live in 2007.[4]
