The Bailey Community Association (BCA) advocates on behalf of all residents within the Bailey Neighborhood. The Bailey Neighborhood is adjacent to the campus of Michigan State University and downtown East Lansing. It is a diverse neighborhood of families, retirees, students, and faculty.

The BCA tracks and responds to issues that affect the safety, sustainability, and the political/social structure of the community; works to organize meetings where viewpoints and concerns can be aired; organizes forums where political candidates can present their platforms and city representatives can answer questions; organizes and completes park and neighborhood clean-up days; works with Michigan State University's Community Relations Coalition and organizes social events, such as the Summer Ice Cream Social and the Valentine's Day party.
