Publications

For almost 30 years, LISC has been at the forefront of community development. Not only do we support projects and programs on the ground with our community partners, we also collect and disseminate best practices that move the industry as a whole forward.

We produce Case Studies, Guidebooks, Topical Reports, Research and Conference Papers, and Trade Articles that provide practical ideas as well as celebrate the success of the field.
