Detroit LISC 2008 Annual Report to the Community
We are pleased to present the Detroit LISC 2008 Annual Report to the Community. This Annual Report on Building Sustainable Communities in Detroit’s Neighborhoods is the first of its kind for Detroit LISC. Our Report highlights several innovative projects and programs that are having a positive impact on quality of life in our Detroit neighborhoods. It depicts Detroit LISC’s role in leading, deal making, convening, and helping build the systems to support these projects and programs as part of our Sustainable Communities agenda.
We could not do any of this without our supporters and partners – thank you! Thank you to our donors – the corporations, financial institutions, foundations, and the public sector – who support our comprehensive, sustainable community development program in driving neighborhood change for Detroit. Thank you to our partners – our Local Advisory Committee (LAC), Loan Committee, and Program Grant Committee for their commitment and guidance, our government partners and the organizations with which we collaborate for their dedication to Detroit, and the community development organizations working on the ground to make change real in our neighborhoods and for our residents.
Detroit LISC Report: 2008 LISC Investment in Detroit Neighborhoods
Despite the challenging economic and financial turbulence that has shaken all of our collective confidences, Detroit Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), a local organization within the national LISC network, is driving change in Detroit’s neighborhoods. LISC is the largest national community development intermediary helping community partners revitalize their neighborhoods.
In 2008, a time when the country and particularly Detroit faced unprecedented challenges, at Detroit LISC, we stepped up our financial investment in Detroit’s neighborhoods investing more than in any year since our founding in 1990. Working closely with city, foundation, and other partners to maximize impact, we are investing where you say it matters, where it counts, and where the community needs it. Detroit LISC invested over $30 million in 2008, leveraging an additional $211 million.
