Profile:
Founded in 1981, Bay Area LISC has been a leader in helping build sustainable, equitable and healthy communities locally and regionally. Today, Bay Area LISC’s work utilizes cross-sector collaborations, community organizing and planning as vehicles to build sustainable communities. We take a multi-faceted approach to creating healthy communities through a variety of programs such as support for community transit planning, safe routes to school, access to healthy foods through grocery stores, and community safety programs.
We provide grant and loan funds and technical assistance to improve neighborhood outcomes. In education, our financing has helped to improve academic goals; create strong community-school relationships; and encouraged parent-teacher engagement. In housing, our assistance has created over 10,000 affordable homes and over a million square feet of commercial and community facilities space. Bay Area LISC supports various nonprofit community development organizations through a multiplicity of programs, such as our Green Connections program, which helps ensure that the homes we support are environmentally sound and promote the overall sustainability of the neighborhood.
