Our Impact

As the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, supporting the initiative and vision of our nonprofit partners is at the heart of our name – it is who we are and how we work. We measure our success by our ability to help them achieve sought after results, outcomes, and projects.

$557 million
in communities in the DC region, resulting in:
15,169

“For many of us, it’s stability, knowing where we are going to be, where we can live, without fear. To put down roots and be a part of a living community — not one full of violence and crime — where we are comfortable.”
— James Washington, president of the Phoenix Tenants’ Association
