Virginia LISC

Summary: Virginia LISC (PDF)

Challenged neighborhoods in Virginia are benefitting from new affordable housing, new community facilities, revitalized neighborhood commercial corridors and innovative community safety initiatives thanks to our partnerships across the state. In 2009, our Building Sustainable Communities work—known locally as United for Progress (UP) Neighborhoods Initiatives—moved forward with the selection of five targeted areas in Richmond and Petersburg. We selected Pathways of Petersburg as our convening agency in our first UP neighborhood. Work is set to begin in the Greater Fulton Hill neighborhood as our next UP neighborhood. We celebrated two revitalized football facilities with Richmond’s Department of Recreation and Parks, thanks to National LISC’s decade-long collaboration with the NFL Grassroots program. We supported Boaz and Ruth, an offender re-entry program in Highland Park, and were honored they were selected as a recipient of Metlife’s community safety award. Each of the activities have furthered the broader revitalization efforts that are the focus of UP Neighborhoods.
