Local Advisory Board (LAB)

These influential leaders determine if there is a desire and a need for a LISC Kalamazoo program. They open the doors to other key stakeholders who are involved in a site assessment process and then take the lead in raising local funds for a LISC program. Their leadership and input will be a valued and critical component to strengthening LISC's role in revitalizing neighborhoods and providing affordable housing. They provide guidance on the office's overall strategy and investments (including technical assistance, grants and loans).
