Detroit LISC’s Building Sustainable Communities work flows from two decades of investments and strategic partnerships that have helped community-based organizations transform distressed neighborhoods. Detroit LISC is focusing its investments on five neighborhoods so they can become healthy places to live and grow. On the city’s East Side, for instance, LISC has worked in collaboration with the Northeast Guidance Center (NEGC) to bring new jobs, healthy living environments, and brighter futures to the area’s low-income residents. NEGC provides mental health services, counseling and recovery services to some 6,000 adults and children. With funding from LISC, it completed The Conner Campus in 2009, where it offers workforce training and helps clients strengthen their social skills. The Conner Campus is a LEED-certified facility and part of LISC’s holistic view of healthy neighborhoods that improve quality of life.
