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.

A Place to Live was nominated for the 1941 Academy Award for Documentary Short Subject.

The Academy Film Archive preserved A Place to Live in 2007.
