The Downtown Living Advocates (DLA) is a citizen group, focused on issues of interest to residents of Downtown Raleigh. The group was formed in early 2009 by a group of residents motivated by a desire to lend their voices to shaping the growth and character of Downtown Raleigh.

Our mission is to be an organized voice for Downtown residents, working together with city agencies, concerned institutions and local businesses in supporting balanced and sustainable growth for Raleigh.

We are people who live in the Downtown area and share a passion for our city.  Our intention is to play an active role in helping our Downtown neighborhoods be the most livable and attractive they can be, both for us and future residents.

Our General Meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday of every month.  Non-members are always welcome to attend our General Meetings.
