Community Safety

MetLife Foundation Community-Police Partnership Awards Program | Developer-Police Partnerships | Reentry and Special Needs

No neighborhood plagued by crime and disorder problems will be attractive to residents or merchants. Indeed, addressing those issues is as critical to successful community development as making sure people have affordable housing, good schools, recreational areas, jobs and health care. LISC’s Community Safety Initiative (CSI) helps to establish partnerships among law enforcement, residents, business owners and members of other neighborhood institutions. Since 1994, CSI has helped establish police/community partnerships in over a dozen cities nationwide.
