  • Detroit LISC Report: 2008 LISC Investment in Detroit 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.

  • LISC Online Resource Library

    The national LISC Online Resource Library is LISC's web portal to information resources on community development. It includes LISC's collection of downloadable publications, such as our monthly eNewsletter, policy briefs, in-depth papers, case studies, and best practices.

  • Policy

    Supportive public policies continue to be essential to the success of almost all of LISC's programmatic work. Indeed, the level and scope of public policy supports are important determinants of how much and what kinds of revitalization activities can take place in communities across the nation. Located in Washington, DC, our policy efforts are designed to expand the resources available to community developers; raise the profile of community development in the context of housing, economic development and other policies; and win greater support from policy makers by familiarizing them with community development activities in their districts.
