Our Priorities
As an intermediary organization, LISC leverages and strategically invests in the collective power of community-based organizations, neighbors, donors, and advocates. Our work is comprehensive, effective and—most importantly—rooted in what neighbors want for themselves, their families and the places they call home.
We believe inclusive community development is a pathway to restorative justice for neighborhoods and communities who've experienced decades of intentional and systematic disinvestment.
LISC concentrates our work around three focus areas: Affordable Housing, Economic Development and Equitable Community Development.
