LISC offers a wide range of technical assistance in the fields of affordable housing development, organizational capacity building, and community development.

For 25 years, LISC has provided organizational, business planning, and management systems assistance to new nonprofit housing and community development groups. The result is a network comprising 13 national programs, each performing some level of technical assistance to CDCs and nonprofits. That assistance typically centers on:

• preparation and appropriation of housing and community development public funding and tax credits;

• increasing technical capacity;

• organizational development, expansion and crisis intervention; and

• the effective execution of services under successful proposals.
