Economic Development
LISC's Economic Development efforts boost the vitality of neighborhoods by investing in the physical and social assets of a community's business district. We support programs and provide capital to projects that cultivate entrepreneurship, attract new businesses, diversify the local retail mix and stimulate employment. It's the kind of development that grows local job opportunities and incomes, and brings goods and services to places where they're needed.
LISC Bay Area's Neighborhood Economic Inclusion Agenda brings together a community’s residents, business owners, and stakeholders to strengthen neighborhood commercial corridors.
LISC mobilizes funds- through loans and grants- to businesses and community infrastructure that catalyze safety, health, and prosperity for people and communities.
Through the New Markets Support Company, one of our affiliates, we syndicate federal New Markets Tax Credits to energize retail corridors and reinforce investment in housing, schools and neighborhood services.
