In the past three years, LISC’s Connecticut Statewide program invested $3.4 million to support the creation of 222 homes and 18,900 square feet of commercial and community space. LISC also provided capacity-building support to community development corporations to enhance their production of new housing and support their asset management. Housing Connections of Connecticut is a statewide LISC program designed to expand affordable housing options in rural and suburban communities. LISC provides direct technical assistance, disseminates best practices through regional forums and offers grants for planning and pre-development. Connecticut Statewide LISC provides technical assistance grants and training to promote the use of Green technologies through Green Lab, a program in partnership with NHS of New Haven to educate homeowners. LISC also presented several seminars and training programs to assist developers in employing Green techniques in both new and existing buildings.

In creating access to quality early education, LISC is a leader in providing training, technical assistance, and flexible financing for the development of quality child care centers that serve low-income children across Connecticut. Among the recently completed centers is the Good Shepherd Child Development Center in Milford, which is the first Green early childhood facility in the state. The Connecticut Children’s Investment Partnership has also conducted numerous training seminars for child care providers and has published a series of 5 guides on the different aspects of creating quality facilities.
