New York Land Opportunity Program for Mission-Driven and Faith-Based Organizations
LISC NY has partnered with Mission-Driven Organizations (MDOs) and Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs) to promote community and economic development for many years. MDOs and FBOs often provide much-needed services to their communities. These services include housing, feeding those in need, helping individuals find stable family-sustaining employment, building up businesses to create jobs, providing wrap-around mental health services, and improving community safety to help stabilize neighborhoods.
MDOs and FBOs have several vital resources that contribute to these goals, including:
- Community Relationships & Leadership
- Land in High Opportunity Areas
- Tax-Exempt Status
- Organizational Time, Volunteers, and Finances & Land
The LISC NY NYLOP focuses on helping MDOs and FBOs use these resources to develop affordable housing on their vacant or underutilized property. LISC NY is soliciting interest from up to 10 MDOs or FBOs who have an interest in developing their property. After an initial review and screening process, we will invite organizations with the best chance of success to submit a formal application to participate in the program. LISC NY will review responses to the formal application to select at least three organizations to proceed with developing conceptual plans. Once these plans are completed, LISC NY will choose at least one organization from this cohort to issue a Request for Proposals to select a Master Development Partner to partner with the MDO or FBO to bring the conceptual plan to fruition.
Technical Resources
LISC NY, through its NYLOP, will provide technical assistance and financial support to at least three organizations to enable them to develop a pathway to selecting a Master Development Partner. In addition, LISC NY has engaged a development consultant who will assesses the organizational and development capacity of the participants to determine their technical assistance needs. Technical assistance may include legal, zoning, and architectural services. LISC NY will also work with local community organizations, city and state agencies to ensure a holistic development approach.
