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 aimed 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.[2][3]
A Place to Live was nominated for the 1941 Academy Award for Best Documentary (Short Subject).[4]
The Academy Film Archive preserved A Place to Live in 2007.[5]
