Local Initiatives Support Corporation

LISC is one of the country’s largest community development organizations, helping forge vibrant, resilient communities across America. LISC works with residents and partners to close gaps in health, wealth, and opportunity so that people and places can thrive. We do this by acting as a conduit for grants, loans and equity--and by providing technical assistance and capacity building--to locally rooted organizations that carry out the work in communities. Join us. 

 What We Do

For over 45 years, LISC and its affiliates have invested approximately $32 billion in affordable housing, small business, health, economic mobility, community and recreational facilities, public safety and other projects that help communities. Headquartered in New York City, LISC has 37 offices spanning the country from Buffalo to the Bay Area as well as partnerships in 2,400 rural counties across 49 states and Puerto Rico.

 Our Commitment to Fair Access 

At LISC, we are committed to building communities of opportunity for all, grounded in the core belief that fostering a sense of belonging is vital to achieving shared prosperity. We design and implement every aspect of our work to uphold the dignity and well-being of all U.S. residents—regardless of background or zip code—while actively removing barriers to economic mobility.
