Joshua Court, Brooklyn, N.Y.

Not long ago, 300 Putnam Avenue was not always a safe place for neighborhood residents. Abandoned by its owner and forced into foreclosure, the six-story building in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn was commonly known for violence and rampant drug use.

LISC Financial Opportunity Centers

It’s been a tough few years economically and it has been especially devastating to residents of fewer means. While affordable housing, quality schools, safe streets and thriving commercial corridors are important to a community’s revival, so too is a focus on the economic stability of residents who live there.

Erna P. Harris Court, Berkeley, Calif.

Erna P. Harris Court has been an important part of the transformation of Berkeley’s University Avenue neighborhood. LISC partner, Resources for Community Development (RCD), has transformed the 1950’s era, dilapidated motel into an affordable community for low-income households.

Youth Development & Recreation Program

Recreation facilities provide a safe place for children, youth and families to play, compete and lead healthy lives. These spaces also offer children and their families opportunities to connect with their neighbors and contribute to the overall physical and social well-being of the community at large.
