About LISC

LISC combines corporate, government and philanthropic resources to help nonprofit community development corporations revitalize distressed neighborhoods. Since 1980, LISC has raised $11.1 billion to build or rehab 277,000 affordable homes and develop 44 million square feet of retail, community and educational space nationwide. LISC support has leveraged nearly $33.9 billion in total development activity.

LISC provides local community development organizations with:

• Loans, grants and equity investments
• Local, statewide and national policy support
• Technical and management assistance

The LISC model assembles private and public resources and directs them to locally defined priorities. Our unique structure enables local organizations to access national resources and expertise, and allows our funding partners to leverage their investment and achieve an impact that is truly remarkable.
