Coordinating Entity for Lex & 3rd Block Association
The Lex and 3rd Unity Project (L3UP) serves as a vital resource for the Lex & 3rd Block Association (L3BA) and other grassroots community groups dedicated to uplifting East Harlem.

By managing grants and coordinating logistics, we ensure that neighborhood-driven efforts in environmental stewardship, cultural heritage, and public health have the foundation they need to succeed and grow.
