Profile:
Rhode Island LISC is dedicated to helping local partners transform distressed neighborhoods into resilient and sustainable communities of choice and opportunity -- good places to work, do business and raise children.
LISC mobilizes corporate, government and philanthropic support to invest in locally defined community development projects through loans grants, and equity investments; local, statewide and national policy support; and comprehensive community development.
Rhode Island LISC is implementing its Sustainable Communities plan that helps local partners pursue five interrelated program goals: real estate development; economic development; family income and wealth creation; education; and safety and healthy lifestyles. Why is this important? Global issues like climate change, resource depletion, and economic uncertainty make these times interesting and challenging. Our mission is to help insure that the low-income citizens of Rhode Island are prepared to meet these challenges and thrive.
