About Us
In 2002, Michigan LISC was restructured in order to establish a more comprehensive approach to meeting the needs of communities outside of the Detroit metropolitan area. With strong programs in Kalamazoo and Lansing established in the late 1980's, Michigan LISC is strengthening efforts with additional offices in Grand Rapids and Flint, as well as reaching out to smaller cities and communities throughout the state. Michigan LISC is currently serving over 50 community development corporations (CDCs) across the state.
LISC believes that rebuilding a strong and vibrant community requires resources, ingenuity and powerful leadership to focus and develop community efforts; Michigan LISC has provided strong leadership by establishing Local Advisory Committees to oversee its programs, delivered countless hours of technical assistance to CDCs, created vibrant growth opportunities through raising and channeling philanthropic and corporate financial support, and created innovative programs and services to meet the unique needs of the local communities it serves.
